Demonstration of variable angle Super-Heterodyne Dynamic Light Scattering for measuring colloidal dynamics
arXiv:2001.08494
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 domain, 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.
