Abstract

The theoretical reduced intensity of X-ray scattering i(S) may be calculated for a cluster of any structure using Debye's formula. The comparison of both experimental determination and model calculation of the RDF or i(S) allows, to make a conclusions about structure of materials in a wide region of interatomic distances. This is a very important for direct structure characterization of giant clusters, dispersed molybdenum sulfides etc.. The simple formula for the upper limit of interatomic distances when the data are collected at equidistant step on S – scatterinrg vector, may be used for the optimal experimental conditions selection.
