Abstract

The dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique was used for studying the processes of aggregation of spherical SiO₂ particles in various diethylene glycol (DEG) suspensions. The suspensions were studied in a cuvette, in a millimeter-sized droplet and in a micrometer-sized droplet. For the first time DLS signals for droplets of picolitre volume, levitated in an electrodynamic quadrupole trap, were obtained. It is shown that the correlation analysis of light scattered from a micro-droplet allows monitoring the changes of its internal structure, as well as its motions: trap-constricted Brownian motions and random rotations.
