A Method for the Measurement of the Spectrum of the Sizes of Suspended Nanoparticles

Resumo

A new method is proposed for the measurement of the spectrum of the sizes of suspended nanoparticles based on enlarging the particles through condensation growth in a medium of a supersaturated vapor and measurement of the parameters of the resulting grown droplets. By means of the method, the lower limit of the measurements can be reduced down to several nanometers and an array of data on the spectrum of the sizes of nanoparticles stored for subsequent use.
