Introduction to Pair Distribution Function Analysis
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
By collecting a total scattering pattern, subtracting the non-sample background, applying corrections, and taking the Fourier transform, the real space pair distribution function can be obtained. A PDF gives the distribution of inter-atomic distances in a material and is an excellent probe of short and intermediate range structure. RMC refinements using multiple data types are an excellent method for multi-scale modeling, including the mesoscale range.
