Pair distribution function
The pair distribution function describes the distribution of distances between pairs of particles contained within a given volume. Mathematically, if a and b are two particles, the pair distribution function of b with respect to a, denoted by g_{ab}(\vec{r}) is the probability of finding the particle b at distance \vec{r} from a, with a taken as the origin of coordinates.
