Abstract
The finite size effects of the nanoparticles to the atomic pair distribution functions (PDF) are discussed by calculating the radial distribution functions (RDF) on nanoparticles with various shapes, such as sheet, belt, rod, tube and sphere, assuming continua. Their characteristics are shown depending on the shapes and the sizes of the nanoparticles. Alternately, these PDFs can be used to measure the shapes and the sizes of ordered lattice part inside of any materials such as nanoparticles and bulks.
