Magnetic PDF paper featured on cover of Acta A as first “Advances” article

Recent work in the Billinge group has led to the derivation of the fundamental equations of magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF) analysis, in analogy to the more familiar atomic PDF. This breakthrough provides a new way to quantitatively investigate local magnetic correlations and has the potential to be extremely valuable in a diverse range of… Read More Magnetic PDF paper featured on cover of Acta A as first “Advances” article
