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 importance of total scattering and its Fourier transform, the pair distribution function, in
crystallography was understood soon after it was shown that crystals diffract X-rays …

The Nanoscale Ordered MAterials Diffractometer (NOMAD) is neutron time-of-flight
diffractometer designed to determine pair distribution functions of a wide range of materials …

In phase-change memory devices, a material is cycled between glassy and crystalline
states. The highly temperature-dependent kinetics of its crystallization process enables …

The broken symmetry in the atomic-scale ordering of glassy versus crystalline solids leads to
a daunting challenge to provide suitable metrics for describing the order within disorder …

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 …

D20 is a medium to high resolution two-axis diffractometer capable of producing a neutron
flux of 10 8 s− 1 cm− 2 at the sample position. The 1536 detection cells of its curved linear …

We present a combination of force field and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations
together with neutron scattering experiments with isotopic substitution that aim at …

A combination of in situ high-pressure neutron diffraction at pressures up to 17.5 (5) GPa
and molecular dynamics simulations employing a many-body interatomic potential model is …

Magnesium and zinc dications possess the same charge and have an almost identical size,
yet they behave very differently in aqueous solutions and play distinct biological roles. It is …
