3D quantification of the morphology of metal nanoparticles and connection with optical properties. University of Antwerp
Inorganic nanoparticles and nanostructures with complex morphologies have gained increasing scientific interest, because of the possibility to tune their ability to interact (polarized) light. In some cases, the optical activity is hypothesized to originate from a specific morphology of the nanomaterial. However, quantifying the morphology of objects with sizes of tens of nanometers is far from straightforward. Electron tomography offers the ...
