  1. The instrument training courses. This training is required for new users of the lab/instruments, and they are arranged every second week (every week or more often at semester start in the fall), normally Mondays at 14:00-15:15. It is recommended to wait until your samples are ready or nearly ready. Please fill in this form: https://forms.office.com/r/hXn2FJ1Aaw, and then I can adapt the training better for your requirements.

Please hold off the days in your calendar if you are interested and sign up for the course as a training session in Booktilab. You can follow the instructions for registering for a “New User training – XRD”, only choose  TOPAS sessions instead.

  3. Advanced workshop for TOPAS . This year, we are organizing an advanced workshop for TOPAS, which will take place on 5th October 2024 from 10:00 to 15:00.

titleThe year in the XRD-lab

Autumn:

September - November: Many new users are coming during this period and we arrange instrument trainings for new users almost every week, or even more often if necessary.

September - October: Online application open for HERCULES course. This is a course for synchrotron radiation.https://hercules-school.eu/organisation-school

Mid-October - November: EVA and TOPAS Workshops will be arranged. The TOPAS Workshop assumes some basic knowledge of diffraction, for example TMT4130/TMT4166 or the FACET crash course.

Winter:

December - January: Reduced service levels in the XRD-lab over the Christmas holiday period, thereafter possibly reduced service due to maintenance and upkeep.

Spring:

February-May: XRD-lab running as normal, instrument trainings are arranged approximately every fortnight

March : Topas Workshop will be arranged, ask for more information.

Summer:

Mid June - mid-August: reduced service levels in the XRD-lab. This is because of holiday / needed time for maintenance and upkeep. That means that only people that are already trained and have access can use the lab (i.e. no new trainings).
