What is a PDF? The Pair Distribution Function (PDF) gives the probability of finding an atom at a distance “r” from a given atom.

Pair distribution functions (PDF)s analysis is a widely used technique for characterizing the atomic-scale structure of materials of limited structural coher-ence. It was first applied on liquids and glasses (War …

Analysis of Local Structure by Atomic Pair Distribution Function Elena Willinger Lecture series: Modern Methods in Heterogeneous Catalysis Research Outline

Computation of pair distribution functions and three-dimensional densities with a reduced variance principle

The structure of such material is described by a Pair Distribution Function (PDF) – a probability to find an atom at a certain distance r from a given atom. The first peak in a PDF (having the shortest r …

In the past 30 years, an alternative approach, atomic pair distribution function, or PDF, analysis has come to the fore as a powerful method for exactly this job. This book is intended for people who think …

What is a PDF? The PDF shows the frequency distribution of distances between pairs of scatterers in a material
