X-ray Diffraction Training Course: Basic Concepts

May 26 @ 15:30 - May 27 @ 18:00

From CINTECX we have launched a new training course on the basic concepts of X-ray diffraction.

The training will be held in the CINTECX Auditorium on the following dates:

  • Monday 26/05/2025, from 15:30 to 18:30
  • Tuesday 27/05/2025, from 15:30 to 18:30

The course will be taught by Dr. Bruno Dacuña Mariño, Senior Research Support Technician of the X-Ray Unit / Crystalline Powder Section, Network of Infrastructures for Research and Technological Development Support (RIAIDT), University of Santiago de Compostela, and will consist of the following sections:

  • Geometric description (position of diffracted X-rays)
  • Thomas Young’s experiment: 1801; why X-rays?
  • Laue and Bragg equations; Ewald construction: reciprocal space
  • Data collection (polycrystals and single crystals)
  • Definition of crystal; Unit cell; Indexation
  • Symmetry; Point and space groups; International tables
  • Diffraction experiments (intensity of diffracted X-rays)
  • X-rays interact with matter
  • Obtaining X-rays
  • X-rays with electrons and atoms
  • X-rays with crystals: structure factor
  • Phase problem: Fourier series
  • Properties of the structure factor
  • Examples:
    • Identification of minerals
    • Crystallinity
    • Microstructure and microcrystallinity analysis
    • High-resolution diffraction
    • Solid solutions
    • Liquid crystals

To be able to attend the course, it is essential to register at the following link before the 20th:
