X ray scattering by nanoparticles. a Simulated differential cross sections for X-ray scattering from Bi2O3 NPs with a diameter (d) of 40 nm. b The schematic of the inelastic Mie-scattering mechanism and c the mass attenuation coefficient curve of Bi2O3. Here, Ei, Ea and Es are the energy of the incident X-ray photon, energy absorbed and the energy of the scattered photon, respectively. d The comparison of simulated differential cross section and extracted 1D data of experimental grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GI-SAXS) at 8 keV energy for films with d = 20, 40 and 100 nm NPs. (The dotted line in a represents the extracted data at 8 keV.) e X-ray photocurrent response of the polymer diodes containing Bi2O3 NP sizes of 20, 40 and 100 nm and f the current density value with the spread for six detectors
