Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis has become a powerful and widely used approach for investigating the local atomic structure of crystalline, nanostructured, and disordered materials beyond the limits of conventional crystallography. By combining total scattering experiments with real-space structural analysis, PDF methods provide direct insight into short-range order, local distortions, nanoscale heterogeneity, and correlated disorder that are often hidden in average-structure descriptions.<\/div>\n
This lecture will introduce the fundamental concepts underlying PDF analysis, beginning with the principles of total scattering and the transformation of reciprocal-space data into real-space structural correlations. The discussion will cover the essential stages of a PDF study, including experimental considerations for X-ray and neutron scattering measurements, data reduction procedures, and approaches to structural modeling and refinement.<\/div>\n
Emphasis will be placed on understanding what structural information PDF analysis can reveal, when the method is particularly advantageous, and how it complements conventional diffraction techniques. Representative examples from contemporary materials research, such as nanomaterials, functional oxides, energy materials, and disordered systems, will illustrate the broad applicability of the method and its growing role in modern structural characterization.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) was developed in the early 1990s providing a correct description of the Mott metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model. When combined with density functional theory (DFT), it later emerged as a unique method for the quantitative description of the spectroscopic and transport properties of materials whose valence electrons are in between itinerant and fully localized [1]. \u00a0We will first overview the theory behind the DFT+DMFT method and then, following the work of K. Haule and his collaborators [2], we will illustrate its success in studies of iron-based superconductors and rare-earth nickelates.<\/p>\n

This presentation will cover the complete lifecycle of conducting research at large-scale research facilities: from designing and planning an experiment, through writing successful proposals for beamtime applications, to carrying out the experiment and completing the subsequent activities, including preparing the experimental report and publishing the results.<\/p>\n

These topics will be discussed both from a general perspective and specifically in the context of physics and physical chemistry of functional materials, with a focus on access to synchrotron and neutron research facilities.<\/p>\n

The session is designed as an interactive workshop, and participants are encouraged to bring their questions or draft experimental proposals for discussion if they wish.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The first part of this presentation will introduce the fundamentals of diffraction, the most powerful technique for the structural characterization of crystalline solid-state materials. It will provide a step-by-step explanation of where structural information is contained within a diffraction pattern and how this information can be extracted. Complementary characterization techniques, including electron microscopy and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), will also be briefly introduced.<\/p>\n

The second part of the presentation will focus on selected case studies demonstrating the application of these techniques to the investigation of functional materials. The aim is to illustrate the capabilities and advantages of each method, as well as their limitations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
