Novel trends in pair distribution function approaches on bulk systems with nanoscale heterogeneities
Abstract
Novel materials for high performance applications increasingly exhibit structural order on the nanometer length scale; a domain where crystallography, the basis of Rietveld refinement, fails [1]. In such instances the total scattering approach, which treats Bragg and diffuse scattering on an equal basis, is a powerful approach. In recent years, the analysis of the total scattering data became an invaluable tool and the gold standard for studying nanocrystalline, nanoporous, and disordered crystalline materials. The data may be analyzed in reciprocal space directly, or Fourier transformed to the real-space atomic pair distribution function (PDF) and this intuitive function examined for local structural information. Here we give a number of illustrative examples, for convenience picked from our own work, of recent developments and applications of total scattering and PDF analysis to novel complex materials. There are many other wonderful examples from the work of others.
