Description
Summary:This work reports the setting up of the X‐ray diffraction and spectroscopy beamline at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory for performing total scattering experiments to be analyzed by atomic pair distribution function (PDF) studies. The results of a PDF refinement for Al2O3 standard are presented and compared with data acquired at a beamline of the Advanced Photon Source, where it is common to perform this type of experiment. A preliminary characterization of the Pb1–xLaxZr0.40Ti0.60O3 ferroelectric system, with x = 0.11, 0.12 and 0.15, is also shown. A setup for total scattering experiments at the multi‐purpose XDS beamline of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) is described. Also, a preliminary characterization of the Pb1–xLaxZr0.40Ti0.60O3 (x = 0.11, 0.12 and 0.15) ferroelectric system using pair distribution function analysis is presented.
