| Zusammenfassung: | Real-time reassembly of an ordered nanoparticle monolayer due to UV-photolysis of the surfactant shell of nanoparticles was observed. The technique of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering provided the possibility to track in situ the nanoparticle pair correlation function of the sample processed in a UV-ozone reactor. The analysis revealed a total shift of approximately 1 nm of the nanoparticle nearest-neighbor distance. The temporal evolution of the interparticle distance proved to be the first-order process governed by the UV-photolysis and described by a single-exponential decay function. The nanoparticles tend to agglomerate into a labyrinth-like structure with a typical length scale of some 30 nm |
