Refinement of Rietveld by CrystalDiffract

Refinement of powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method "CrystalDiffract"

The long-awaited Rietveld refinement feature for powder diffraction data has been implemented in CrystalDiffract 7. Observed powder diffraction data can be read in xy data format or Rigaku ASC format, and refined using the Rietveld method based on an initial structure. The initial structure used as a reference for the Rietveld method can be selected from approximately 1,000 libraries included in CrystalDiffract or imported from an external CIF file. Additionally, diffraction patterns of mixtures consisting of multiple phases can also be refined while calculating the weight fractions of each component. CrystalDiffract is a self-contained powder diffraction program. It is equipped with optimal graphing tools, advanced simulations, interactive real-time parameter control, and intuitive measurement functions all in one program. The new features include not only Rietveld refinement but also automatic background removal, phase identification, and various other functions that assist in data analysis in the fields of crystallography and materials science.

At the beginning of the seminar, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology will discuss the research and development related to ceramics 3D additive manufacturing that they have been working on, focusing on the 3D additive manufacturing process, powder preparation process for molding, debinding and sintering processes, as well as examples of production using ceramics 3D additive manufacturing, particularly with alumina and reaction-sintered silicon carbide. Following that, instructors from Shin-Toh V-Ceramics and As One, who are at the forefront of this field in Japan, will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners about the development trends of various ceramics 3D printers from world-class companies like 3DCeram Sinto and Lithoz, as well as the latest additive manufacturing technologies that enable the creation of innovative parts, rapid part development, prototyping, and manufacturing, significant reductions in the number of parts, lightweight and compact designs, and reductions in manufacturing processes and workforce through complex shapes and integral molding, hollow and porous structures, and lattice structures that are impossible with conventional processing methods. Finally, Canon will introduce the latest trends in their newly developed high-performance ceramics materials that excel in selective laser melting (SLM) for 3D printers, which significantly reduce "shrinkage" during sintering, along with the characteristics of parts that can be produced using this method, additive manufacturing technology, target fields, and contract manufacturing services.

Nagoya Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting polyimide resins at the booth of Matsuo Sangyo Co., Ltd. during the 'Chemical Material Japan 2025' event held at Tokyo Big Sight. We also plan to showcase our developed products, including soluble polyimide, transparent polyimide, and porous polyimide, so we look forward to seeing you there.

In promoting DX and business reform projects, are your initiatives becoming "system construction first"? While you may have envisioned an ideal, it may not lead to "practical reforms" rooted in the field. For those facing such challenges, this seminar will provide hints for solutions. In this seminar, we will clearly explain the specific approach from "visualizing business processes" to "IT strategy (systemization strategy)" in business reform projects, incorporating case studies and practical steps. We will also introduce the essence of our "business process-focused, supportive consulting." Additionally, details on writing business flows, creating RFPs, and formulating systemization roadmaps will be covered in a separate seminar.

～AI Chatbot Breaks Through the Barriers of Business Knowledge! A Method to Achieve Both Talent Development and Business Efficiency Simultaneously～ The burden of searching through vast amounts of documentation in quality assurance operations has been dramatically improved by the generative AI chatbot "WisTalk"! In this seminar, Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd. will present a case study on how they utilized "WisTalk" to reduce the search workload for over 4,000 pages of quality assurance documents while balancing business quality and talent development. 【What You Will Learn in This Seminar】 ● How to inherit the knowledge of experienced personnel using AI ● The effects of reducing business burdens and improving performance through the efficiency of document search operations ● Key points for implementing an AI chatbot for knowledge search 【Recommended For】 ● Those who feel challenges in searching for business manuals and various regulatory documents ● Those considering the use of AI for promoting DX and talent development ● Those struggling with knowledge inheritance in quality assurance and technical departments In the first part, we will discuss actual implementation cases, and in the second part, we will provide a detailed explanation of the potential of "WisTalk" through product introductions. We hope you will join us!
