An error matrix of the experimental results for the silica–gold NPs compared with the model under various conditions, presented using a 2D color map. The calculated diffraction patterns of silica–gold NP models with inner (from 16 nm to 21 nm) and outer (from 53 nm to 58 nm) diameters were compared with the recorded diffraction pattern. The error matrix shows that the experimental inner and outer diameters of the silica–gold NPs were determined to be 19 nm and 54 nm, respectively, with a minimum error value of 13%. |
