What is the experimental setup and data processing details?
The high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction and total scattering measurements are performed at beamline ID31 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) using an incident X-ray energy of 75.051 keV (λ = 0.16520 Å). Sample powders are loaded into cylindrical slots (approx. 1 mm thickness) held between Kapton windows in a high-throughput sample holder. Measurements are conducted in transmission geometry using a Pilatus CdTe 2M detector positioned with the incident beam in the corner of the detector. The sample-to-detector distance is approximately 1.5 m for high-resolution measurements, 0.3 m for total scattering measurements, and 7 m for small-angle scattering. Background measurements for the empty windows are measured and subtracted. NIST SRM 660b (LaB6) is used for geometry calibration performed with pyFAI software followed by image integration including flat-field, geometry, solid-angle, and polarization corrections. Automated background subtraction is taken and parallax correction is performed based on Rietveld refinement of LaB6 660b. Preliminary pair distribution functions are generated using PDFgetX3 with preset Qmax ranges, Qmax-inst., and a reasonable starting guess for r-poly.
