PDFfit2 and PDFgui: computer programs for studying nanostructure in crystals
Christopher L. Farrow,Pavol Juhas,J W Liu,D Bryndin,E. S. Božin,Jacques Bloch,Th. Proffen,Simon J. L. Billinge +7 more
TL;DR: PDFfit2 is a program as well as a library for real-space refinement of crystal structures capable of fitting a theoretical three-dimensional structure to atomic pair distribution function data and is ideal for nanoscale investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entropically Stabilized Local Dipole Formation in Lead Chalcogenides
E. S. Božin,Christos D. Malliakas,Petros Souvatzis,Thomas Proffen,Nicola A. Spaldin,Mercouri G. Kanatzidis,Mercouri G. Kanatzidis,Simon J. L. Billinge,Simon J. L. Billinge +8 more
TL;DR: The observation of local structural dipoles that emerge from an undistorted ground state on warming, in contrast to conventional structural phase transitions in which distortions emerge on cooling, shed light on the anomalous electronic and thermoelectric properties of the lead chalcogenides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative size-dependent structure and strain determination of CdSe nanoparticles using atomic pair distribution function analysis
Ahmad S. Masadeh,E. S. Božin,Christopher L. Farrow,Gianluca Paglia,Pavol Juhas,Simon J. L. Billinge,Abhijeet J. Karkamkar,Mercouri G. Kanatzidis +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the size-dependent structure of CdSe nanoparticles, with diameters ranging from $2\phantom{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{to}\phantom{\rule{ 0.3m}nm}, has been studied using the atomic pair distribution function (PDF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutron Diffraction Evidence of Microscopic Charge Inhomogeneities in the CuO 2 Plane of Superconducting La 2 − x Sr x CuO 4 ( 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.30 )
TL;DR: High-resolution atomic pair distribution functions have been obtained using neutron powder diffraction data from La2-xSrxCuO4 over the range of doping and show a broadening of the in-plane Cu-O bond distribution as a function of doping up to optimal doping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved measures of quality for the atomic pair distribution function
TL;DR: Quality criteria that help produce automated direct Fourier transformed PDFs of quality similar to hand-processed data are presented, and optimization methods are compared.
