Modelling Diffraction by Facetted Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method to approximate azimuthally resolved light scattering patterns and phase functions due to diffraction and external reflection by strongly absorbing facetted particles is demonstrated for a cube and compared with results from an exact method, T-matrix. A phase function averaged over a range of orientations of a strongly absorbing hexagonal column of aspect ratio unity has been calculated and tested against Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) results for a size parameter of 50.

Modelling light scattering by absorbing smooth and slightly rough facetted particles
A method for approximating light scattering properties of strongly absorbing facetted particles which are large compared to the wavelength is presented. It consists in adding the approximated external diffraction and reflection far fields and is demonstrated for a smooth hexagonal prism. This computationally fast method is extended towards prisms with slightly rough surfaces by introducing a su...
متن کاملDifferential stress induced by thiol adsorption on facetted nanocrystals.
Polycrystalline gold films coated with thiol-based self-assembled monolayers (SAM) form the basis of a wide range of nanomechanical sensor platforms. The detection of adsorbates with such devices relies on the transmission of mechanical forces, which is mediated by chemically derived stress at the organic-inorganic interface. Here, we show that the structure of a single 300-nm-diameter facetted...
متن کاملFacetted patchy particles through entropy-driven patterning of mixed ligand SAMS.
We present a microscopic theory that describes the ordering of two distinct ligands on the surface of a facetted nanoparticle. The theory predicts that when one type of ligand is significantly bulkier than all others, the larger ligands preferentially align themselves along the edges and vertices of the nanoparticle. Monte Carlo simulations confirm these predictions. We show that the intrinsic ...
متن کاملDiffraction data of core-shell nanoparticles from an X-ray free electron laser
X-ray free-electron lasers provide novel opportunities to conduct single particle analysis on nanoscale particles. Coherent diffractive imaging experiments were performed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), SLAC National Laboratory, exposing single inorganic core-shell nanoparticles to femtosecond hard-X-ray pulses. Each facetted nanoparticle consisted of a crystalline gold core and a di...
متن کاملPt/CERIA THIN FILM MODEL CATALYSTS AFTER HIGH TEMPERATURE REDUCTION: A (HR)TEM STUDY
Ceria-supported noble metals are widely used as valuable catalysts in deNOx and combustion technology. However, like most noble metal-reducible oxide combinations they are subjected to strong metal-support interaction upon high temperature reduction, resulting in changing catalytic properties [1] and eventually deactivation. An investigation of these phenomena and of structureactivity correlati...
