Fig. 1: Experimental and simulated powder X-ray diffraction spectra of indium phosphide quantum dots with organic capping ligands.

a Powder X-ray diffraction spectra with peak deconvolution of indium phosphide quantum dots capped with myristate. b Powder X-ray diffraction spectra of indium phosphide quantum dots with the myristate ligands partially removed by indium chloride and completely removed by hydrofluoric acid. c Atomic model of a tetrahedral indium phosphide quantum dot capped with myristates. d Simulated powder X-ray diffraction patterns of indium phosphide quantum dots with and without capping myristates (MA). Cu K-\(\alpha \) \((\lambda =1.5418\; {\AA} )\) is the X-ray source for all experimental and simulated powder X-ray diffraction spectra.
