Session I
Fundamentals of X-ray Fluorescence is directed to both relative newcomers in the field and to more experienced users wishing to broaden their understanding of fundamental concepts and established procedures. The major emphases are the acquisition of reliable experimental data and qualitative phase identification using manual search techniques, and computer-based methods of qualitative and quantitative phase analysis.
The format of the course is a combination of morning lectures and afternoon recitations and workshops. Ample opportunity for individual student-faculty interaction exists throughout the week, including small recitation and workshop groups and a session where students can discuss their applications and problems with the entire faculty.
Session II
Advanced Methods in X-ray Fluorescence course is designed to teach and practice method development with respect to scope definition, selection and creation of reference material, instrumental settings, and most importantly the mathematical matrix correction and compensation methods for calibration. For maximum benefit from the Advanced Methods in X-ray Fluorescence, the ICDD course faculty strongly recommends that students have previously attended Session I.
This practical-oriented course alternates lectures and hands-on practical experience to deepen and intensify the material. The class is limited to 16 attendees to ensure individual attention and a focused learning experience. It requires and familiarity with Excel to complete the exercises on matrix correction.
