2. Nanoparticles Characterization: Measurement of the particles size by the PCS technique MSc. Priscyla D. Marcato Dr. Nelson Durán

3. Principle of Measurement • If the particles or molecules are illuminated with a laser, the intensity of the scattered light fluctuates at a rate that is dependent upon the size of the particles • Analysis of these intensity fluctuations yields the velocity of the Brownian motion and hence the particle size using the Stokes-Einstein relationship.

4. Brownian Motion Particles, emulsions and molecules in suspension undergo Brownian motion. This is the motion induced by the bombardment by solvent molecules that themselves are moving due to their thermal energy Temperature and viscosity must be known

5. Intensity of the scattered light fluctuates

6. Intensity of the scattered light fluctuates Small particles- noisy curve Large particles- smooth curve

7. Stokes-Einstein relationship The velocity of the Brownian motion is defined by a property known as the translational diffusion coefficient (usually given the symbol, D).

10. Determining particle size Determined autocorrelation function Depend

11. Correlation function Correlograms

12. Correlogram from a sample containing large particles Correlogram from a sample containing small particles

16. Low concentration turbidity is linear with concentration Particles are so close together that the scattered radiation is re-scattered by other particles. High concentration

18. Information Size by: - Intensity I  d6 Rayleigh Scattering (For nanoparticles less than d =λ/10 or around 60nm the scattering will be equal in all Directions-isotropic)

19. 8 nm 80 nm This particles will scatter 106 (one million) times more light than the small particle (8 nm) The contribution to the total light scattered by the small particles will be extremely small

20. 8 80

21. By the Mie theory is possible convert intensity distribution into volume V= 4r3 r = d/2 V= 4(d/2)3 = 4d3 8 - Volume  d3 - Number  d1

22. Two population of spherical nanoparticles : 5 nm and 50 nm (in equal number) Which of these distributions should I use?

23. d(intensity) > d(volume) > d(number)

27. Direct determination of the number-weighted mean radius and polydispersity from dynamic light-scattering data Philipus et al.,Applied Optics, 45, 2209 (2006) We find that converting intensity-weighted distributions is not always reliable, especially when the polydispersity of the sample is large.
