Sizes and size distributions of nanoparticles: Causes of differences in results obtained by transmission electron microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering
Abstract:Comparative size and structure characterization of silver and selenium nanoparticles obtained and stabilized in different polymer solutions was performed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Effects of instrumental properties, nature of the samples, data collecting and data processing on accuracy of measurements are highlighted and summarized. Numerical differences in the mode diameter values derived from the TEM and SAXS data were found to have different sources. … Show more
