Dependence of the unit-cell volume on NP size. Data are taken from XRD studies, solid circles from Li et al. (2006), empty circles from Ghosh et al. (2006), the empty square from Zheng et al. (2008) and solid triangles from Makhlouf et al. (2009)). The inset shows the NP model with a size L = 2.5 nm. |
