S. J. L. Billinge. International Tables for Crystallography (2019). Vol. H, ch. 5.7, pp. 649-672  [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060000972 ]

Abstract

The methods for studying nanometre-scale structure in materials from powder diffraction data are often referred to as `total scattering' or atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. This chapter aims to present the background theory in a rigorous but intuitive way. Different approaches to modelling the data are also described.
