During the summer holliday there will be some reduced support in the XRD-lab and no more new user training until august. The level of support will vary throughout the summer and below you will find an overview of the different periods: Now until the 30th of June: The lab will run as normal, but there will be no trainingarranged for new users.From 19th of June to 30th of June please contact Maria Tsoustsouva (maria.tsoutsouva@ntnu.no) for user support and questions regarding the loading of DaVinci1. From the 1st of July until the 11th of July:
Maria Tsoustsouva’s time as the lab responsible is over, questions should go to Viviann Hole Pedersen. Viviann is om holiday so emails may not be answered until 12th of July.

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 Late May - Early June: Instrument service period if necessary Late May - Early JuneMarch : Topas Workshop will be arranged if sufficient demand,add a service request for this in the Booking system if you are interested (or send me an email if you can't get access), 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). |

Training procedures
For the start-up training, you will be put in small groups of around 2-3 participants (signing up ca. 4 days in advance) and you will be sent a powerpoint presentation with videos to watch before coming to the training. In quiet times of the year (December to August), this means that you might have to wait up to a few weeks for the group to fill up. In the period September-November, there will normally be at least one training per week. We recommend that you have your samples ready - or nearly ready - at the time of the the training. Then it is easier for us to tailor the training for your specific type of samples, in addition to you being better able to remember the training until you next need to use the instrument on your own. At the start-up training, you will be trained on either DaVinci1 or D8-Focus (please let lab responsible know if you have any preferences on which one), and then you will be qualified to use that specific instrument.
...
Some of you might need to use other instruments than the one you had the start-up training on, and then you need to agree a time with lab responsible for specific instrument training. If you cannot wait for a few more participants and therefore are alone at the training, then you will need to pay the full price for technical support (see table above).
Booking and logging the use of the diffractometers
We are using the Bookitlab for booking calendars and logging the measurement times: see information here: Booking/logging XRD-use.
