Figure 7
(a)–(d) In situ GISAXS patterns of 2D nanoparticle (d = 5.5 nm) superlattices at the liquid/air interface during the droplet evaporation. The exposure time for each image is 5 s. Diffraction orders (10), (11), (20) and (21) for the 2D hexagonal packing structures are labeled for 433 s in (b). (e) Horizonal line-shapes of the (10) Bragg diffraction with respect to g, the (10) reciprocal lattice vector. The dashed line represents the instrumentation resolution.
