PDF IN THE CLOUD

About the PDF in the Cloud

This is a cloud-based platform for pair distribution function (PDF) data analysis. PDF analysis is used to study the local atomic and magnetic structure of materials being developed and used in advanced applications such as high energy density batteries, solar fuel conversion, catalysis, electronics and many other high tech applications.

This web site should help chemists, physicists, earth scientists and anyone interested in material structure analyze their PDF data and obtain scientific insights from their data. New capabilities are being added frequently so please check back.

PDFitc is free to use for academic research. However, by using the PDFitc, you are agreeing to the PDF in the Cloud Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. If you use the PDFitc as a resource in your research, please cite the papers referencing PDFitc and its Applications summarized here.
