Olex2 Very simple to use and intuitive interface to the ShelX suite, also links to Platon, Superflip and others. Can be run stand alone or (more comfortable) called through GUIs such as WinGX or Olex2 (see below). SHELX Popular program suite (freeware) for analysis of small molecule as well as macromolecular structures. Download through through the user forum which is very worthwhile taking a look at.ĪPEX3 (Bruker) Data reduction on Sion diffractometers, available through Gaspar login on our server. Single Crystal Diffraction Data ReductionĬrysAlis (Rigaku) Data reduction on Lausanne diffractometers, freeware obtainable upon registration. Mercury Useful for crystal drawings of organic and metalorganic crystal structures, visualization of voids, surfaces… ETH-license available, also for CSD (contact us). VESTA Particularly useful for inorganic materials, density maps, vectorial representations Can be linked into EVA for search and match, how to is explained in the wiki. Access granted to EPF-members, if you are not located at the EPF, establish vpn connection first.ĬOD Crystallography open database, free.

License located locally on PC’s at EPFL VS in the diffraction lab. ICDD (PDF) PDF-4+ for inorganic materials. Access is given through IP-recognition, if you are not located at the EPF you need to connect through vpn. CSD license (including all tools, such as Mercury) for EPF-users. Selected topics from thin film X-ray diffraction (GIWAXS, GISAXS, PDF, XRR), electronic and optical spectroscopy (XPS, AES, SERS, TERS), scanning probe and electron microscopy (STM, AFM, HRTEM, SEM).ĬSD Database for organic (and metal-organic) compounds. State-of-the-art surface/thin film characterization methods of polycrystalline/nano/amorphous materials. Advanced Solid State and Surface Characterization (CH-632).Familiarization with modern X-ray diffractometers. Experimental aspects of materials-oriented powder and single crystal diffraction. Principals and Applications of X-ray Diffraction (CH-632)īasic theoretical aspects of Crystallography and the interaction between X-ray radiation and matter.Students enrolled in the PhD program will be prioritized with respect to PostDocs, if the number of places is limited. These courses are awarded with 2 ECTS credits each, and are open to all students. The facility gives two courses within the EDCH program of the Doctoral School of EPFL, which cover basic theory of most methods as well as practical parts.
