Effect of 3-dimensional Stacking for Silver Nanoparticle Multilayers

Abstract

Abstract The multilayers structures of silver nanoparticles passivated with a fatty acid are investigated by means of X-ray reflectivity (XR) measurement. A distinct “quasi-Bragg reflection” peak appears at the position corresponding to the layer distance. From the calculation, it is found that the layer distance is slightly smaller than the diameter of the nanoparticle.
