Thermal diffuse scattering analysis of Ag₂O binary system via X-ray powder diffraction.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse scattering is a component of the powder pattern bearing information on the local atomic structure and disorder of crystalline materials. It is visible in the X-ray diffraction patterns of binary structures like Ag₂O, which has a large mean squared displacement for its constituent elements. Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis is widely employed to extract this local structural information, embedded in the widths of PDF peaks. However, obtaining the PDF from experimental data requires a Fourier transform, which introduces aberrations in the transformed data due to instrument resolution, complicating the distinction between its static and dynamic components. In this work, the analysis of thermal diffuse scattering is performed directly on the X-ray powder pattern, usi
