Fig. 4: Refinement of the gold nanocuboid surface model.
From: Locating the atoms at the hard-soft interface of gold nanoparticles
A Reconstructed nanocuboid thickness plot close to the nanocuboid surface. Colour bar represents thickness from 8 to 20 nm. Validation of the final model: comparison of experimental (B) and simulated (C) images with vertically integrated intensity profiles in (D) based on the atomic structure in (E) for 4 different annular ranges for the detector. E Final, quantitative atomic structure of the Au–Cu–Br interface with measured interatomic distances (as projected in <100> direction) (Au - yellow, Cu - blue, Br - red): Au–Cu(i) = 1.81 Å, Cu(i)-Cu(ii) = 1.13 Å, Cu(ii)-Br = 2.56 Å. Note the organic CTA+ surfactant is shown for illustrative purposes but has not been quantified in this work.
