Abstract

There is no question that atomic pair distribution function analysis has had a profound impact on the analysis of crystalline and amorphous materials. As a complement to the use of synchrotron sources for collecting PDF data, we have explored the use of home laboratory-based single crystal diffractometers to analyze amorphous organic materials. In order to generate the most useful reduced radial distribution functions, G(r), we have found it necessary to modify existing code in CrysAlis^Pro and develop new code to generate G(r) data for refinement and analysis. In this presentation we will explore the collection and analysis of total scattering data glassy materials with wavelengths readily available to home laboratory systems.
