Figure 2
When evaluated at , provides information about radial correlations. The top row shows the extracted from diffraction simulations of liquid Ni at 3000 K (left), amorphous Ni at 300 K (middle) and an f.c.c. Ni crystal (right). On the bottom left we plot the diagonal which contains peak structure that is similar qualitatively to the pair distribution function (bottom right). All line plots have been normalized to have a maximum value of 1 to aid comparison. The information less than 2.5 Å is a numerical artifact related to the finite resolution of the simulation. |
