The internal structure factor of the clusters was derived and exhibited a universal behavior as evidenced by a correlation hole at intermediate wave-vectors. Reverse Monte-Carlo calculations were performed to adjust the data and provided an accurate description of the clusters in terms of interparticle distance and volume fraction. Additional parameters influencing the microstructure were also investigated, including the nature and thickness of the nanoparticle adlayer. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00417665/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00417665/file/0902.3936.pdf %L hal-00417665 %U https://hal.science/hal-00417665 %~ CEA %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ UPMC %~ ESPCI %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ LCVN %~ PARISTECH %~ IRAMIS-LLB %~ PSL %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ ESPCI-PSL %~ SU-TI %~ MSC-LAB %~ IRAMIS %~ GS-PHYSIQUE %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UM1-UM2
