Course Name

NCL_SDP75_2025 - Workshop on Materials Characterization Using Powder X-Ray Diffraction (WMC-PXRD)
Instructor Name :- Mishra Dr. Manish. K., Dr. Rajesh G. Gonnade

Overview

This workshop (organised by The Central Analytical Facility at CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune in collaboration with International Center for Diffraction Data (ICDD), Philadelphia, USA and Vivertana Distributors Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, India) will emphasise the techniques and applications of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), a powerful method for structural analysis and material characterisation. Special focus will be placed on its applications in pharmaceutical research, including phase identification, polymorphism studies, and quality control. Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of PXRD principles, data acquisition, and data interpretation, making the workshop particularly valuable for researchers in pharmaceutical sciences, crystallography, and materials science. The WMC-PXRD workshop will be highly interactive, featuring a blend of lectures and hands-on sessions. Participants will work through problem sets ranging from basic to advanced levels, reinforcing essential concepts. The program will also cover data mining using the ICDD PDF-5+® database and analytical methods implemented in ICDD PDF-5+® Sieve+ and ICDD MDI JADE® Pro software. Hands-on access to PDF-5+® and JADE Pro® will be provided via a remote desktop server through web access. Participants are required to bring their own laptops equipped with wireless internet access (Edge, Chrome, or Firefox browsers recommended).
