Figure 10
SAXS curves simulated for polydisperse systems of non-interacting cubic NPs with lognormal size-distribution parameters σ and L0 from Table 3, as indicated. In each panel, the curves have close values of Lsaxs and , but significantly different values of Lxrd and (Table 3). (a) Curves with different intensity maxima at Q = 0 and similar asymptotes, as caused by the NP–NP exclusion distance effect (inset). (b), (c) Curves with different asymptotes and similar intensities around Q = 0, as caused by an interface blurring effect due to very small particles (inset). |
