Quantitative 3D determination of self-assembled structures on nanoparticles using small angle neutron scattering

The ligand shell of a nanoparticle remains difficult to resolve, as the available characterization methods provide only qualitative information. Here, the authors introduce an approach based on small-angle neutron scattering that can quantitatively reveal the organization of ligands in mixed-monolay...
