Instructors: Aubrey Penn, Research Specialist; Jordan Cox, Research SpecialistLocation: MIT.nano Building 12 Room 5001Date/Time: Wednesday, January 15, 2025, and Thursday, January 16, 2025, from 9am-1pmAdvanced signup required. Register by Monday, January 13, 2025. Open to MIT Community. Limited to 10 participants.This course is designed to introduce attendees to best practices in crystallographic structure determination with x-rays and electrons. Attendees will learn about XRD, electron diffraction, and scanning transmission electron microscopy on crystalline materials, with a primary focus on data analysis. A hands-on lab will be offered for XRD structure model refinement as well as an introduction to image analysis with the python package Atomap. Previous python experience is not required, but attendees will find introductory experience helpful. It is encouraged that attendees download anaconda before the course begins. This will be a 2-day course: one day for X-rays and one day for electrons. We welcome students who may not have formal education in crystallography, XRD, and/or TEM.
