This is a review of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis as applied to the study of
molecular materials. The PDF method is a powerful approach to study short-and …

The correlation between structure and function lies at the heart of materials science and
engineering. Especially, modern functional materials usually contain inhomogeneities at an …

An image-plate (IP) detector coupled with high-energy synchrotron radiation was used for
atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, with high probed momentum transfer …

Studying the structure of disordered and partially ordered materials is notoriously difficult.
Recently, significant advances have been made using the atomic pair distribution function …

The techniques of neutron diffraction and x-ray diffraction, as applied to structural studies of
liquids and glasses, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the explanation and discussion of …

A long-standing issue regarding the local and long-range structure of V2O5⊙ n H2O
xerogel has been successfully addressed. The full three-dimensional structure of the …

ISAACS (interactive structure analysis of amorphous and crystalline systems) is a cross-
platform program developed to analyze the structural characteristics of three-dimensional …

We study a calcium aluminosilicate glass of composition (SiO 2) 0.60 (Al 2 O 3) 0.10 (CaO)
0.30 by means of molecular dynamics. To this end, we conduct parallel simulations …

Detailed knowledge of the atomic-scale structure is needed to understand and predict
properties of materials. For ordinary crystals, this information is obtained by traditional …

The application of a large-area (41× 41 cm, 2048× 2048 or 1024× 1024 pixel) high-
sensitivity (detective quantum efficiency> 65%) fast-readout (up to 7.5 or 30 Hz) flat-panel …
