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.

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.

Abstract By means of X-ray scattering and ultrasonic experiments, the structure of different melts of the Cd-Ga system was investigated. The structure factors S (q) obtained for the pure elements agree well with those reported by other authors. The concentration dependence of the structure factors shows no special features. From the structure factors, the total pair-distribution functions were calculated by a Fourier transformation. The nearest-neighbour distances, obtained from the total pair-distribution functions, amount to 3.04 Å for pure Cd and 2.83 Å for pure Ga and are nearly constant for all alloys. The concentration dependence of the experimental nearest-neigh-bour distances and coordination numbers was determined and is compared with statistical distribution and macroscopic segregation models. These comparisons tend to indicate a preference for like-atom neighbours. From the long-wavelength limit S(0) of the structure factors of Cd and Ga, the isothermal compressibilities were calculated. These show a satisfactory agreement with those calculated from adiabatic sound velocity data. The anomalous ultrasonic absorption of a single melt with nearly critical concentration indicates the existence of concentration fluctuations. This result is in agreement with those obtained by X-ray smallangle scattering experiments which are described in Part 2 of this work [1].

Scripting Language

A software package for performing modelling and analysis of GISAXS (grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering) data within the distorted-wave Born approximation has been developed using the IGOR Pro scripting language (http://www.wavemetrics.com). The tool suite uses a slab-model approach with the Abélès matrix method to calculate X-ray reflectivity curves, electric field intensity distributions and GISAXS intensities from supported or buried scatterers arranged in two or three dimensions in a stratified medium. Models are included to calculate the scattered intensity for monodisperse, polydisperse and interacting particles with various size distributions, form factors and structure factors. The source code for the entire package is freely available, allowing anyone to develop additional tools.

First Hydration Shell

Indications from a molecular dynamics simulation of a 2.2 molal LiI solution of the existence of a second hydration shell of Li+ have been checked by an x-ray investigation of the same solution. The scattering data are analysed via partial structure functions and radial distribution functions which have been obtained from a model fitted to the total structure function. Experiment and simulation agree on first neighbor ion-water distances. An octahedral arrangement of six water molecules in the first hydration shell of Li+ and additional twelve water molecules in the second shell have been verified by the experiment.
