Demonstration of variable angle super-heterodyne dynamic light scattering for measuring colloidal dynamics

ItemZeitschriftenaufsatzOpen Access

Abstract

We demonstrate a prototype light scattering instrument combining a frequency domain approach to the intermediate scattering function from Super-Heterodyning Doppler Velocimetry with the versatility of a standard homodyne dynamic light scattering goniometer setup for investigations over a large range of scattering vectors. Comparing to reference experiments in correlation-time space, we show that the novel approach can determine diffusion constants and hence hydrodynamic radii with high precision and accuracy. Possible future applications are discussed shortly.
