Answer:
The Pair Distribution Function (PDF) provides the probability of finding an atom at a distance "r" from a given atom.
Explanation:
Atoms are made up three particles protons, neutrons and electrons. The PDF is the Sine - Fourier transform of the total scattering diffraction pattern.
The Atomic structure pdf is used to find the average and short range structure for disordered crystalline materials, nanomaterials and amorphous materials.
Local Distortions, Chemical short range order, nanomaterial structure and amorphous structures are some of the studies that can be done by pdf technique.
