title: X-ray scattering as a liquid and solid phase probe of ordering within sub-monolayers of iron oxide nanoparticles fabricated by electrophoretic deposition.
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.
