Abstract
Nanoparticles are the focus of intense scientific and engineering attention, due to their unique properties and wide array of potential biomedical, optical, and electronic applications. Their unique properties bridge those of bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures. Whereas bulk materials display constant physical properties regardless of size, nanomaterial properties may be size-dependent, such as quantum confinement in semiconductor particles, surface plasmon resonance in many metal particles and superparamagnetism in magnetic materials. However, design, synthesis, and fabrication of nanoparticles for specific applications or fundamental inquiry remains immature without accurate and well resolved characterization of nanoparticle size and structure. To date, nanoparticles may be characterized using a variety of traditional techniques including electron microscopy (EM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic and static light scattering (DLS and SLS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AFFFF), X-ray crystallography, small angle neutron scattering (SANS), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, dual polarization interferometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) [
