(a) SAXS curves for cubic-like NPs with rectangular shapes as given by the ratio of height/base-edge length (inset). FWHM values (vertical bars) are in units of 10−3 Å−1. (b) Bragg peak widths in monodisperse systems of CeO2 virtual NPs [inset, (a)]. All NPs have the same volume as a 30 nm cube. Peak numbers 2 and 6 stand for reflection families {200} and {400}, respectively. SAXS and WAXS simulation is done via equation (2). Peak widths were obtained by pseudo-Voigt line-profile fitting. NPs with 〈dr〉rms = 1.4 pm were used for computing the Ce–Ce, Ce–O and O–O PDDFs [equations (5) and (6)]. |
