Structure-mining: screening structure models by automated fitting to the atomic pair distribution function over large numbers of models

Structure-mining finds and returns the best-fit structures from structural databases given a measured pair distribution function data set. Using databases and heuristics for automation, it has the potential to save experimenters a large amount of time as they explore candidate structures from the literature.
