Course Details
• Fundamentals of X-ray Diffraction (XRD): An introduction to X-ray diffraction techniques, including the physics of X-rays, interaction of X-rays with matter, and the basics of XRD instrumentation.
• XRD Data Collection and Analysis: This unit covers the data collection process, including selecting appropriate data collection strategies, acquiring high-quality diffraction data, and data processing techniques. It also includes an overview of various data analysis methods and tools.
• Phase Identification and Quantification: Students will learn about the various techniques used for phase identification and quantification, including the use of search-match software, Rietveld refinement, and internal/external standards.
• Strain and Texture Analysis: This unit focuses on the measurement and interpretation of residual strain and texture in materials using XRD techniques. Topics include the use of pole figures, orientation distribution functions, and the effects of crystallographic texture on material properties.
• Advanced XRD Techniques: An exploration of specialized XRD techniques, including time-of-flight diffraction, high-energy X-rays, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, and small-angle X-ray scattering.
• Quality Control and Non-destructive Testing: An overview of XRD applications in quality control and non-destructive testing, including the use of XRD for phase identification, thickness measurement, and residual stress analysis.
• Data Management and Visualization: This unit covers best practices for managing and visualizing XRD data, including data organization, data sharing, and data visualization tools.
• Ethics and Safety in XRD Research: An exploration of ethical considerations and safety protocols in XRD research, including the responsible use of data, adherence to research standards, radiation safety, and laboratory safety practices.
