Regional Co-Chair’s Report for the UK & Ireland David Rendle

Activities since March 2005  BCA 2005 at Loughborough  BCA Industrial Group Autumn Meeting  ICDD products mini-survey (UK & Ireland)

BCA Spring Meeting 2005, Loughborough University April 12 th – 14 th, 2005

Highlights  In-situ and non-ambient crystallography (Plenary session)  XRF session (WDXRF & EDXRF) organized and chaired by Dave Taylor  ICDD booth  ICDD Bursary winner

ICDD Booth

ICDD Bursary Winner – Nicola S. Turvey (School of Life & Health Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham)

Bursary Certificate

BCA Industrial Group Autumn Meeting, October 18 th & 19 th, 2006 at Birkbeck College, London  Workshop - Patents in Crystallography  Patents & Crystallography in Industry  Crystallography in Industry

ICDD Products mini-survey  Contacted UK & Ireland users of ICDD products with 3 questions 1. Which ICDD product(s) do you have? 2. Are you happy with it/them? 3. What changes or improvements would you like to see?

Response to survey  Contacted a total of 64 users in the UK and Ireland (53 academic and 11 industrial users).  Received a total of 16 replies (13 academic and 3 industrial users).

1. Which ICDD products do you have?  13 respondents have PDF-2 (from versions 1999 to 2005)  3 have PDF-4

2. Are you happy with them?  16 respondents said “yes”, with qualifying remarks such as: “very happy”, “essential to my work”, “it serves its purpose”, “generally happy” and “reasonably happy”.

3. What changes or improvements would you like to see?  Need some coaching with PCSIWIN (SIeve) and PCPDFWIN (DDview). Lack of tutorial help. Would appreciate a short User’s Guide in hardcopy form. Need a one-day UK based workshop(!). [3 respondents]

Question 3 continued  Unhappy with pricing and cost of updates. [7 respondents]

Question 3 continued  Site licence restricts use to one computer [2 respondents]  Why keep “O” quality data?  Why keep “deleted” data?  PCPDFWIN – search result lists phase ID, chemical name, formula, strongest lines & crystal system, but no quality mark.

Question 3 continued  Why is there no discount for ICDD members?  Would be helpful to be able to save data pattern in card format.  Would like search routines on unit cell (like ICSD Crystal Web).  More data on synthesis.  Web subscriber system needed.

Question 3 continued  Don’t like time-locked policy [2 respondents]  Rules on what constitutes an academic institute are inconsistent.  Would like ICDD educational products available on the Web.  Calculated data sets (70-86) clutter up the database.

Forthcoming Activities  British Crystallographic Association (BCA) Spring Meeting at Lancaster University.

BCA Spring Meeting, Lancaster University, April 4 th – 6 th, 2006

Full day XRPD Workshop on Phase Identification Tutors: John Faber (Principal Scientist, ICDD), Dave Taylor & David Rendle.  History & structure of the Powder Diffraction File  Phase Identification  Advanced phase identification and quantitative analysis  Hands-on computer session.
