Abstract Scope |
Over the years, the assessment of local structure within metallic systems has been largely ignored, due to the lack of suitable probes capable of capturing and characterising these effects. Total scattering, whereby both Bragg and diffuse scattering are considered simultaneously, has been demonstrated as a key technique for exploring local structure in a host of interesting chemical systems (e.g functional oxides, metal-organic frameworks and network glasses). Recently, we demonstrated how it can be successfully applied to the study of local structure within metallic systems.
In this talk, I will discuss the application of total scattering for the elucidation of local order within metallic systems. The nature of the experiments will be discussed, along with data processing, analysis (focussing on the reverse Monte Carlo algorithm) and numerical quantification of order present within a system. |
