Summary:Results of high-energy X-ray diffraction experiments coupled to atomic pair distribution function analysis of disordered low-Zmaterials are presented. Several scientifically and technologically important classes of disordered low-Zmaterials such as small and large organic molecules, graphitic powders, polymers and liquids are intentionally explored to certify the technique's performance. Results clearly show that disordered low-Zmaterials can be well characterized in terms of material's phase identity, relative abundance in mixtures and atomic-scale structure. The demonstrated efficiency of the technique provides the scientific community with much needed confidence to apply it more often than now.
