Diffraction from nanocrystal superlattices

Diffraction from a lattice of periodically spaced crystals is a topic of current interest because of the great development of self-organised superlattices (SL) of nanocrystals (NC). The self-organisation of NC into SL has theoretical interest, but especially a rich application prospect, as the coherent organisation has large effects on a wide range of material properties. Diffraction is a key method to understand the type and quality of SL ordering. Hereby the characteristic diffraction signature of a SL of NC - together with the characteristic types of disorder - are theoretically explored.
