Pair Distribution Functions

Differently weighted experimental scattering data have been used to extract partial or differential structure factors or pair distribution functions in studying many materials. However, this is not done routinely partly because of the lack of user-friendly software. This paper presentsMIXSCAT, a new member of theDISCUSprogram package.MIXSCATallows one to combine neutron and X-ray pair distribution functions and extract their respective differential functions.

Pair Distribution Functions

Total scattering data of nanocrystalline gahnite (ZnAl2O4, 2–3 nm) have been collected with three of the most commonly used instruments: (i) ID31 high-resolution diffractometer at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) (Qmax = 22 Å−1); (ii) ID11 high-energy beamline at the ESRF (Qmax = 26.6 Å−1); and (iii) Empyrean laboratory diffractometer by PANalytical with molybdenum anode X-ray tube (Qmax = 17.1 Å−1). Pair distribution functions (PDFs) for each instrument data-set have been obtained, changing some of the parameters, by PDFgetX3 software, with the aim of testing the software in the treatment of different total scattering data. The material under analysis has been chosen for its nanometric (and possibly disordered) nature, to give rise to a challenge for all the diffractometers involved. None of the latter should have a clear advantage. The PDF and F(Q) functions have been visually compared, and then the three PDF sets have been used for refinements by means of PDFgui suite. All the refinements have been made exactly in the same way for the sake of a fair comparison. Small differences could be observed in the experimental PDFs and the derived results, but none of them seemed to be significant.

ABSTRACTNeutron diffraction data has been used as input to a computer-modelling algorithm based on the “Reverse Monte Carlo” technique. Using this method the positions of ∼ 5000 “atoms” in a box, with full periodicity, are altered until the associated model structure factor agrees with the analogous experimental curve to within errors. It is then possible to estimate the partial pair distribution functions (i.e. those associated with C-C, C-H and H-H correlations), bond angle distributions, coordination number distributions, etc. Whilst X-ray data is well-conditioned for the study of the carbon-carbon network, neutrons are sensitive to the interference terms involving hydrogen. We present an exploratory study of the effectiveness of the RMC method in this context, and suggest viable options for the future use of the method in model building.

Amorphous (Co1-xMnx)85B15- (x = 0.07; 0.22; 0.39) and (Co1-xMnx)76B24- (x = 0; 0.07; 0.22) alloys were produced by melt-spinning and investigated by X-ray- and neutron-diffraction. The variation of x, i.e. the manganese concentration did not influence the X-ray intensity pattern, which suggests that no larger topological changes in the structure took place. However, using neutrons, the variation of x caused large intensity variations. These lead for large x to negative values in the total pair distribution functions g(R). From this behaviour it is concluded that cobalt and manganese cannot be mutually substituted but form a chemical short range order with preference for Co-Mn-pairs compared to Mn-Mn- and Co-Co-pairs. The metal-boron-correlations are preferentially cobalt-boron-correlations. The evaluation of measured data yielded no direct boron-boron-contacts.

The local atomic structure of a Ga1−xMnxAs (x= 0.07) layer during the annealing process was studied by means of X-ray diffuse scattering. The difference between the pair-distribution functions before and after annealing indicated the fraction of atoms that changed concentration and identified them to be exclusively interstitial atoms at the centres of gallium and/or arsenic tetrahedra in the GaMnAs unit cell.
