Pair Distribution Function Analysis

Pair Distribution Function Analysis is a structural analysis method that, within the broader class of diffraction-based techniques, uniquely characterizes local atomic arrangements in disordered or nanocrystalline materials by transforming neutron or X-ray diffraction data into a real-space representation of interatomic distances, thereby revealing deviations from long-range periodicity not captured by conventional phase analysis.
