Figure 19. Poor RBS spectra.

Figure 19

The spectrum in Figure 19A is the result of large amounts of insulating organic reagents and rough surfaces leading to peak broadening. The spectrum in Figure 19B is the result of the sample being too thick as the clear onset of the substrate is obscured by the sample. Both spectra illustrate the necessity of clean nanocrystals and good sample preparation to obtain information from RBS.87
