A Practical course in X-ray diffraction is taught once a year at the Chemistry Department of Texas A & M University.
X-ray Practicals Room 2121 August 24-28 2009 Instructor: Joseph Reibenspies Ph.D.
Synopsis.
This course is intended to teach students how to use the X-ray diffraction instrumentation available in the department. See Course Materials TAB for details, class notes and data.
The XSEED tutorial is part of a LAPTOP university course. Students are encouraged to download the programs to their laptops and bring the laptops to class.The XSEED program can be downloaded from http://x-seed.net/ and will run without registration for the first 30 sessions. Be sure to download POVRAY (http://www.povray.org/download/).
Files used in the tutorial are on the Course Materials TAB : Examples
WINGX download (not required, but useful) http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/software/wingx/
All programs should be fully functional at the time of the class. The instructor cannot spend class time setting up computers
