Abstract

Recent advancements in the magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF) analysis of neutron total scattering data provide a powerful approach to investigate local magnetic correlations in materials. This technique is promising for revealing short-range magnetic correlations at the sub-nanometer length scale directly in real space. It is particularly suitable for strongly correlated electron systems and geometrically frustrated magnets. In this study, the mPDF experiment is conducted at the multi-physics instrument (MPI) of the China Spallation Neutron Source, one of the latest neutron total scattering diffractometers in the world. We systematically benchmarked a series of important parameters related to the experimental setup and data processing for mPDF experiments at the MPI and similar instruments. This method not only advances the magnetic structure determination of fundamental materials but also opens the door for extending mPDF studies to more complicated and frontier magnetic systems that are challenging for conventional diffraction methods.
