Vanhecke, Dimitri Rodríguez-Lorenzo, Laura Kinnear, Calum Durantie, Estelle Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara Petri-Fink, Alke 2017-04-13 Characterizing the morphometric parameters of noble metal nanoparticles for sensing and catalysis is a persistent challenge due to their small size and complex shape. Herein, we present an approach to determine the volume, surface area, and curvature of non-symmetric anisotropic nanoparticles using electron tomography and design- based stereology without the use of segmentation tools or modeling of the particles. Finally, we apply these tools to aggregates to estimate their fractal dimension. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/305471 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/305471/files/fin_afm.pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/305471/files/fin_afm_sm.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1039/C6NR07884B info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Nanoscale. - 2017, vol. 9, no. 15, p. 4918–4927 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/54 Assumption-free morphological quantification of single anisotropic nanoparticles and aggregates http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
