We are pleased to invite you to a mini workshop on electron Pair-Distribution Function (PDF) analysis. The workshop will be held on the 28-29^th of March 2018 at Ulm University in Germany, bringing together scientists working on the method development.

The workshop consists of invited lectures, discussions and software demonstrations and provides a platform for open discussions on the use of electrons for the characterization of structures with no long-range order. The discussions will have a technical orientation focusing on the diverse issues of data collection, processing and quantification. Following topics will be covered:

• Q_max vs pixel resolution of the experimental data – data collection strategies

• Effect of the recording medium – point spread function, etc.

• Distortion of diffraction patters

• Diffraction pattern centering, errors

• Energy filtering of electron diffraction for PDF

• Background treatment

• Instrumental influence in PDF

• Multiple scattering dynamical effects

• ePDF refinement

• Preferred orientation/texture in PDF

The number of participants is limited.
There is no registration fee.
