Particle Size Metrology: Comparison Between Aerosol Electrical Mobility and Laser Surface Light Scattering Techniques

  • 1. National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 (United States)

Description

Two different methods used to determine the size of polystyrene spheres were found to disagree by about 5 %. One of the methods, differential mobility analysis, measures particles in the aerosol phase, while the other, laser surface light scattering, measures them bound to a surface. It is believed that the observed discrepancy results from deformation of the particle when it is bound to the surface. The implications of such a deformation on scanning surface inspection system calibration is discussed
