Here you will find a summary of what each tutorial includes:
Tutorial | Summary | Appropriate to: | Prerequisite |
|---|---|---|---|
Introduction to TOPAS and jEdit | Basic overview of TOPAS, the macros available, brief descriptions and simple Pawley refinements. | Reference for all People completely new to TOPAS should complete the Pawley refinement before moving on | N/A |
| How to run a simple PDF refinement using the PDF macros. | All | N/A |
| Deeper dive into what the dQ, alpha and Lorentzian functions do and how to asertain them from your PDF instrument. | All | N/A |
| Discussion of the beq parameters within PDF refinements and how they differ to the standard thermal parameters in diffraction experiements. | All | N/A |
| How to use X-ray and neutron PDF data to obtain the best possible fit. | Dual radiation (X-ray/Neutron) source users | 1-3 |
