Total Scattering – Pair Distribution Function - General Information

Total scattering
Total scattering (TS) goes beyond typical assessment of diffraction peaks to consider the diffuse inten­sities scattered underneath and in between. These carry further in­for­mation about defects, dis­order, dy­nam­ics, and mor­phol­ogy that underpin functional properties.
 
Pair distribution function
The pair distribution function (PDF) analysis gives an alternative perspective to the total sca­ttering signal by trans­for­ming the data to a spa­tial de­pen­den­ce, allowing pro­per­ties such as bond lengths, correlated motions, and local structural features to be observed directly.
