  1. Crystallographic order Long-range Lattice periodicity But what if structure is not perfectly periodic?

  2. Non-crystallographic order Long-range Lattice periodicity But what if structure is not perfectly periodic? Bragg reflections disappear Can't describe structure as a crystal Can't determine all atom positions

  3. Non-crystallographic order Long-range Lattice periodicity But what if structure is not perfectly periodic? Bragg reflections disappear Can't describe structure as a crystal Can't determine all atom positions Must determine character of local atomic environment Determines properties in partially- & non-crystalline materials

  4. Non-crystallographic order Long-range Lattice periodicity But what if structure is not perfectly periodic? Bragg reflections disappear Can't describe structure as a crystal Can't determine all atom positions Must determine character of local atomic environment Determines properties in partially- & non-crystalline materials New, unfamiliar view - the PDF

  5. PDFs   pair distribution function pair density function no. density of N atoms Relative atomic positions (positional correlations) described by distances {r} Then, distance distribution is (r) = o g(r) = (1/4πNr2) ∑ ∑ (r - r) Can get PDF from diffraction measurements

  6. PDFs Can get PDF from diffraction measurements (r) <––FT––> S(Q) (total scattering function) includes Bragg peaks, elastic & inelastic diffuse scattering

  7. PDFs - examples Here's the evidence G(r) = 4πr((r) - o) In (Ga1-xInx)As, lattice constant varies w/ x Implies (Ga, In)-As bond length varies w/ x…..?? Actually, only relative nos. of Ga-As & In-As bonds change…..bond lengths constant

  8. PDFs - examples In (Ga1-xInx)As, lattice constant varies w/ x Implies (Ga, In)-As bond length varies w/ x…..?? Actually, only relative nos. of Ga-As & In-As bonds change…..bond lengths constant Details: note localized strain effects

  14. PDFs - the total scattering method reduced pair distribution fcn: G(r) = 4πro(g(r) - 1) = 2/π∫Q(S(Q) - 1) sin (Qr) dQ crystalline & exfoliated WS2 large r - oscillates about 0 r ––> 0, slope = -4πro uncertainties const. w/ r for crystalline: G(r) fairly const. w/ r for disordered: G(r) falls off w/ r

  15. PDFs - the total scattering method radial distribution fcn: R(r) = 4πr2o g(r) CN = ∫r1r2 R(r) dr

  18. PDFs - the total scattering method • PDF interpretation • a. direct • b. modeling • Direct: • a. peak position - ave. bond lengths • b. peak intensity - CN • c. peak shape - probability distribution

  19. PDFs - the total scattering method • Bond lengths in silica

  20. PDFs - the total scattering method • Bond lengths in silica

  23. Modeling PDFs • Approach • Develop model w/ set of N atoms at rn • Put origin on random atom • Find distance to every other atom • Add unit value to R(r) for each atom at that distance

  24. Modeling PDFs • Approach • Develop model w/ set of N atoms at rn • Put origin on random atom • Find distance to every other atom • Add unit value to R(r) for each atom at that distance • R(r) = 4πr2o g(r) • CN = ∫r1r2 R(r) dr

  27. Modeling PDFs • How good is model? • Compare w/ PDF calc'd from scattering data (real space) • Or, can calc scattering data (Fourier space) • Model frequently has adjustable parameters • Use Rietveld refinement procedure and watch residuals
