In addition to atom–pair separations The PDF provides atomic-scale structural insights from the distribution of atom–atom distances (peak positions), the PDF also provides direct information about coordination number (integrated ranging from the local coordination scale to several nanometers. In addition to atom–pair separations peak intensity), static and dynamic disorder (peak shape), and the coherent scattering-domain size (peak positions), the PDF also provides direct information about coordination number (integrated (peak attenuation). Modelling the PDF for known periodic structures allows us to assess the effects peak intensity), static and dynamic disorder (peak shape), and the coherent scattering-domain size of modifying the lattice constant, thermal vibration parameters, atomic positions and site (peak attenuation). Modelling the PDF for known periodic structures allows us to assess the effects of occupancies. In addition, PDF-dependent shape parameters can also be used for extracting the radius modifying the lattice constant, thermal vibration parameters, atomic positions and site occupancies. of a spherically shaped nanoparticle. In addition, PDF-dependent shape parameters can also be used for extracting the radius of a spherically shaped nanoparticle. 3.2. An Illustrative Analysis of the MnO Data Manganese can exist in the form of a variety of stable oxides (MnO, Mn3O4, Mn2O3, MnO2) [41,42], which crystallize in different types of structures.
