Figure 3
(a) Three-dimensional view of a dumbbell with slices along the symmetry axis representing the cylinders used in the model. The total length of the dumbbell is 80 nm, the radius of the central cylinder is 12.5 nm and the radius for the balls on the two ends is 15 nm. (b) X-ray scattering pattern of the dumbbell-shaped gold nanoparticle and (c) RAC calculated from its diffraction pattern. (Note, both the X-ray scattering pattern and the RAC are plotted in their natural logarithm values.) |
