(a) Comparison between the I(Q) profiles computed with the corrected MDSE [equation (7), blue curve] and the original MDSE [(Cervellino et al., 2010), black curve] against the expected obtained by averaging the intensity profiles of many defective NCs in the case of a f.c.c. Au NC (a = 4.08 Å) made of 6 × 6 × 6 unit cells (side L = 2.45 nm) with an average occupancy factor
o = 0.5; in the inset the same (rescaled) data are shown on a (reduced range) linear plot. (b) Relative deviations ɛ between the corrected and the original MDSE against the expected profiles, ɛ = [I(Q) − 〈Ik(Q)〉]/〈Ik(Q)〉. The factors appearing in the legend indicate the absolute scales of the y-axis values. |
