Diffraction-based characterization of amorphous sp2 carbon: sensitivity to domain-like packing of nanostructures
Journal: Nanosystems Physics Chemistry Mathematics

We extend our method formerly suggested for structure refinement of the amorphous sp 2 carbon, based on neutron or x-ray diffraction, and applied to amorphous fullerene and its derivatives produced by vacuum annealing. To diagnose heterogeneous media, the method uses the rigid body molecular dynamics simulations of the domain-like packing for a predefined set of structural blocks. Previously, the sensitivity of the results to the variability of mutual positions of these structural blocks was ana
