Abstract

Using a new methodology of elaboration of PDF data (G(r) function), which is based on the analysis of individual inter-atomic distances (ri), a function describing differences between average inter-atomic distances in CdSe nanograins derived experimentally and those in the parent bulk crystal was determined. Based on that methodology a unique atomic architecture of CdSe QDs is proposed. The results show that a good knowledge about the grain surface of nanocrystals alone may be insufficient for understanding the nanomaterials properties, and that the real atomic structure of the interior of nanograins is of importance as well.
