Mode-selective dynamic light scattering: theory versus experimental realization

Mode-selective dynamic light scattering: theory versus experimental realization.

We present a quantitative experimental comparison of fiber-based, single- and few-mode dynamic light scattering with the classical pinhole-detection optics. The recently presented theory of mode-selective dynamic light scattering [Appl. Opt. 32, 2860 (1993)] predicts a collection efficiency and a signal-tobaseline ratio superior to that of a classical pinhole setup. These predictions are confir...

Entrapment–D-(+)-Glucose Water Nanodroplet: Synthesis and Dynamic Light Scattering

In the present research, the D-(+)-Glucose–confined water nanodroplets with mean size in the range of 6-11 nm were synthesized at D-(+)-Glucose different concentrations by AOT reverse micelles (RMs) method as a function of mass fraction of droplet (MFD) at the constant water-to-surfactant molar ratio ( W=40). The dynamic light scattering of the nano-sized water droplets containing the D-(+)-Glu...

Dynamic Light Scattering

A HeNe laser beam incident on a sample of micron-sized spheres suspended in water scatters into a random pattern of spots of varying size, shape, and intensity. The pattern results from the coherent superposition of the outgoing waves scattered from the spheres. Because the spheres are in constant Brownian motion, the pattern randomly changes in time. A photodetector is placed in the pattern an...

Dynamic Light Scattering

Dynamic light scattering

By scattering light from small particles, their geometrical structure and their state of motion can be measured. An experiment is described for measuring the diffusivity of small particles undergoing Brownian motion using the technique called photon correlation spectroscopy or dynamic light scattering. The necessary experimental apparatus and the related theory are discussed. Photon correlation...
