Striped Gold Nanoparticles
The Stellacci group has studied in depth the structure of the self-assembled thiolated shell of nanoparticles. It has been established that when a mixture of distinct thiolated molecules is assembled at an interface, it spontaneously separates in domains, typically several nanometers wide. Up to now Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has been the main technique to characterize the formation of the striped domains on the nanoparticles surfaces. However STM is limited to the characterization of few particles and has the disadvantage of poor statistics. There is a strong need to characterize these nanoparticles by using scattering techniques. With this proposal, we aim to investigate the stripes on the nanoparticles surface by using Small Momentum Transfer Diffractometer, D16 and the method of contrast variation.
