Department Structure and Dynamics of Energy Materials

9th X-Ray School at HZB (LMC), 20 - 24 October 2025

Thank you very much for your interest in the 9th X-Ray School!

The school will be held at Campus Wannsee (PT104) and will introduce participants in various X-ray diffraction measuring and analysis methods to apply them in current projects. It is primarily intended for Ph.D. students who are beginners in X-ray diffraction. The school will be held in person, so the number of participants is limited.

Topics of the X-ray School are:

  • Fundamentals of crystallography and X-ray diffraction
  • Phase analysis, pattern simulation and full pattern fitting (Powder Cell, Fullprof, Match!)
  • Crystallographic databases (ICDD-PDF 5+ and ICSD)
  • Instrument training (powder and thin film diffraction)
  • X-ray diffraction at non-ambient conditions

For full school program please see the program webpage.

If you are interested in participating in the school please send an email to

michael.tovar@helmholtz-berlin.de

with a brief statement (three to five sentences are sufficient) about your motivation.

-> Please note that participation in each full day of the school is mandatory.
