Summary

GISAXS is used to evaluate the ordering of electrophoretically-deposited nanoparticles.

Abstract

Order within sub-monolayers of nanoparticles, fabricated by electrophoretic deposition, was assessed during nanoparticle deposition in a liquid suspension and after the films had dried by grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering. Experiments were performed in a custom-made, liquid-phase cell. The results indicated that ordering occurred during the drying event.
