About the course
This training course will begin with an overview of the DIFFRAC.TOPAS software suite, including use of the graphic user interface (GUI) and launch mode (advanced users). The second day of this course will focus on quantitative phase analysis, including use of structure files, internal standards, and amorphous content determination. The final day of the course is dedicated to structure solutions work, including indexing, structure refinement, and structure determination (Charge Flipping and Simulated Annealing). The course is intended for users with experience in XRD, new users are strongly encouraged to first attend the Powder Applications course.
