Although small round gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) possess only a small degree of shape anisotropy, they support localized surface plasmon resonances and exhibit intrinsic optical anisotropy. These inherent features promote depolarized light scattering, whose temporal fluctuations carry information about rotational Brownian dynamics, and thus can be used to describe the size distribution of round Au NPs. We demonstrate that this allows for a much more accurate determination of particle size and polydispersity through depolarized dynamic light scattering when compared to standard particle sizing with light scattering.
