Summary
Since the early 1990s, the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of powder diffraction data has undergone something of a revolution in its ability to yield important structural information beyond the average crystal structure of a material. With the advent of advanced sources, computing, and algorithms, it is now useful for studying the structure of nanocrystals, clusters, and molecules in solution or otherwise disordered in space, nanoporous materials and things intercalated into …

Prof Simon Billinge
Professor Simon J.L. Billinge
Professor Billinge has dedicated his life to finding and characterizing local structures, local distortions, and hidden symmetries in materials. He began his academic journey with an undergraduate degree in Metallurgy and Materials Science at Oxford University, followed by a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania. This led to an interest in the physics of materials and the physics of scattering, culminating in a 13-year tenure in the Physics and Astronomy Department at Michigan State University.
Since 2008, he has held his current position at Columbia University, with an additional 14-year joint appointment at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He is best known for his contributions to the development of the PDF method, the topic of this book, into a powerful modern materials characterization tool.
Dr. Kirsten M. Ø. Jensen
Dr. Jensen completed both her undergraduate and PhD studies at Aarhus University in Denmark, graduating in 2013. By this point, she had already developed a strong interest in structure/property relations in nanoscale materials. Following her PhD, she joined Professor Billinge’s group at Columbia University for a postdoctoral fellowship.
Since 2015, she has been at the University of Copenhagen, where she leads her research group. She is recognized for her innovative application of x-ray scattering methods, and particularly PDF analysis, to challenges in nanomaterials chemistry.
