Applications Missing

Pair distribution function(PDF) has a larger application in the field of nanotechnology. A nanoparticle is something more related with the density of the material with respect to the surrounding matter. It is hence required to state the applications of PDF in relation with nanotechnology. The unit description is also required so that a new user can have a better idea of the term. This includes the units of PDF, interconversion of several units, and interpretation of units with examples. Any user providing such information on WIKIPEDIA will be regarded by scholars and students. Akif Zeb, Hazara University, Pakistan. --61.5.149.245 06:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article could use an applications section. This function is employed widely, but no mention of this is made. The current article doesn't help anyone wondering if they should be using the PDF analysis method, whereas an applications section could show how this function is applied to scattering data. Just couple major papers with a recent comparison paper. [1] [2] [3] BssyMr (talk) 18:06, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The mathematical notation here is very inconsistent with the use of the vector symbol. The notation needs to be clean up to clarify when it is talking about an N-dimensional vector and when it means a scalar distance.Hami027 (talk) 14:02, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Experimental techniques for PDF

The article has very little content to describe the actual experimental realization, importance, and data analysis process involved with the Pair Distribution Function technique.
