Quantitative size-dependent structure and strain determination of CdSe nanoparticles using atomic pair distribution function analysis
The size-dependent structure of CdSe nanoparticles, with diameters ranging from $2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{to}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}4\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, has been studied using the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) method. The core structure of the measured CdSe nanoparticles can be described in terms of the wurtzite atomic structure with extensive stacking faults. The density of faults in the …
