Abstract

Recent studies of crystalline materials by the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis are introduced.Wide Q-range of diffraction patterns obtained by total scattering diffractometers at intense pulsed neutron facilities such as Materials and Life Science Facility in J-PARC are suitable for the PDF analysis, where high Q-resolution measurement can also be carried out simultaneously. One of the novel research topics is the size and the form of nano-structured materials. Another is local lattice distortion in a functional material, i. e., a giant negative thermal expansion material Mn3Cu1-xGexN.
