Simplest method of measuring nanoparticles’ size and size distribution on the surface and on sub-surface layers



Recently there has been an emphasis for characterizing nanostructured materials such as twodimensional (2D) and zero-dimensional (0D) materials. For example, graphene, carbon nanotubes, etc. are two-dimensional (2D) materials. Quantum dots (QDs) [1] is an example of a zero-dimensional (0D) material because the nano particles of the QDs do not form a network; instead they remain by themselves. See ref [2] for a review of 0D, 1D, etc. materials.
