Here we introduce a new method for modeling the structure of very small particles by means of powder X-ray diffraction. Using thioglycerol-capped ZnO nanoparticles with a diameter of less than 3 nm as an example we demonstrate that our ensemble modeling method is superior to standard XRD methods like, e.g., Rietveld refinement. Besides fundamental properties (size, anisotropic shape and atomic structure) more sophisticated properties like imperfections in the lattice, a size distribution as well as strain and relaxation effects in the particles and-in particular-at their surface (surface relaxation effects) can be obtained. Ensemble properties, i.e., distributions of the particle size and other properties, can also be investigated which makes this method superior to imaging techniques like (high resolution) transmission electron microscopy or atomic force microscopy, in particular for very small nanoparticles. For the particles under study an excellent agreement of calculated and experimental X-ray diffraction patterns could be obtained with an ensemble of anisotropic polyhedral particles of three dominant sizes, wurtzite structure and a significant relaxation of Zn atoms close to the surface. 000016364 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK412$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aGrundlagen für zukünftige Informationstechnologien$$cP42$$x0 000016364 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000016364 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMetal Nanoparticles: chemistry 000016364 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aModels, Molecular 000016364 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aParticle Size 000016364 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aX-Ray Diffraction 000016364 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aZinc Oxide: chemistry 000016364 650_7 $$01314-13-2$$2NLM Chemicals$$aZinc Oxide 000016364 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000016364 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSeufert, K.$$b1 000016364 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aStahl, A.$$b2 000016364 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBhalerao-Panajkar, R.S.$$b3 000016364 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMarathe, S.$$b4 000016364 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aKulkarni, S.K.$$b5 000016364 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aNeder, R.B.$$b6 000016364 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB77884$$aKumpf, C.$$b7$$uFZJ 000016364 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1476244-4$$a10.1039/c0cp00758g$$gVol. 13, p. 498 - 505$$p498 - 505$$q13<498 - 505$$tPhysical Chemistry Chemical Physics$$v13$$x1463-9076$$y2011 000016364 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C0CP00758G 000016364 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/16364/files/FZJ-16364.pdf$$yPublished under German "Allianz" Licensing conditions on 2010-06-01.
