The structure of nanodiamonds is considered within the model of icosahedral nanoparticles with a local diamond-like order and a shell structure. The diffraction from nanoparticles with noncrystallographic (in particular, icosahedral) packings of atoms is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the method proposed for calculating the intensity of coherent scattering by clusters of identical polyatomic aggregates is applicable to the entire diversity of carbon structures existing in the nanoworld.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
