Single-nanoparticle discrete-charge and size analysis for colloid and life sciences Ghent University
Since Millikan’ famous oil drop experiment about hundred years ago, measurements of the electrical charge of single particles with accuracy higher than the elementary charge have been successfully applied in air and in vacuum. More recently, the same concept has been demonstrated by the applicants on single particles in nonpolar liquids. The technique relies on measuring discrete charge levels of a single particle, which allows to determine ...
