SASPDF, a method for characterizing the structure of nanoparticle assemblies (NPAs), is presented. The method is an extension of the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis to the small-angle scattering (SAS) regime. The PDFgetS3 software package for computing the PDF from SAS data is also presented. An application of the SASPDF method to characterize structures of representative NPA samples with different levels of structural order is then demonstrated. The SASPDF method quantitatively yields information such as structure, disorder and crystallite sizes of ordered NPA samples. The method was also used to successfully model the data from a disordered NPA sample. The SASPDF method offers the possibility of more quantitative characterizations of NPA structures for a wide class of samples.

The crystal structure of zinc metal deviates from the ideal hexagonal close packing structure by a significantly increased axial ratio (c/a). The local atomic structure of zinc metal is investigated using the total scattering atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis based on X-ray powder diffraction data collected at ambient conditions. The X-ray total scattering PDF analysis confirms that the crystal structure of zinc can be described in terms of wurtzite structure, but with an anomalously atomic displacement parameters [Formula: see text], indicating a significant displacement disorder along the [Formula: see text]-axis. For the long [Formula: see text]-range PDF refinements, the thermal motion of zinc shows a notable anisotropy as expressed by the ratio [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] of 2.5 at ambient conditions. This average distortion level along the [Formula: see text]-axis, was not reflected locally for the features below 5.0 Å as it fits the high [Formula: see text] region. Based on PDF refinements over different [Formula: see text]-ranges, we measure an interesting increase of the [Formula: see text] value with decreasing the [Formula: see text]-range of the refinement. This suggests that the local structure features in zinc metal differ from the average structure ones.
