Figure 6
(a) The effect of substitutional disorder. The simulation curves were obtained for a b.c.c.-like arrangement (a = 39 nm, [\xi = 15 a]) of two spherical nanoparticles (based on the system described in Fig. 3[link]). The amount of substitutional disorder is varied from 0% (perfect binary lattice, with one particle type sitting within a cube of eight opposite-type neighbors) to 100% (random lattice, where each site has equal probability of either particle type). The lower plot shows the variation of S at the first three peak positions. (b) The effect of vacancy defects for the same system. The label below each curve denotes the percentage occupation of each species (Au nanoparticles and CdTe quantum dots, respectively). The lower plot shows the variation of S at the first three peak positions as the occupation of the first species (Au nanoparticles) is varied (CdTe quantum occupation is constant at 100%).
