Multi-angle dynamic light scattering analysis based on successive updating of the angular weighting.

The angular weighting coefficient is key to accurate particle size distribution (PSD) measurement using multiangle dynamic light scattering (MDLS). However, determining the weighting coefficient is affected by the noise in the measured MDLS data. In this paper, a novel successive updating of the angular weighting (AWSU) method is proposed. By using information character weighting, the angular weighting coefficient and the character weighting matrix are updated once with each additional angle. The effect of autocorrelation function (ACF) denoising and information extraction is improved by using information character weighting step-by-step. The results for broad unimodal and closely-spaced bimodal PSDs demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. Compared with another routinely used inversion method, it is found that the increase in PSD information retrieved from MDLS depends not only on increasing the number of angles, but also on the calculation of the angular weightings. An accurate weighting algorithm can reduce the number of scattering angles required. Using the AWSU method for PSD recovery with 4 scattering angles can give better results than the usual method with 6 scattering angles. It is also found that the AWSU method not only improves the accuracy of the weightings, but it also contributes directly to the PSD recovery by reconstructing the ACF with the PSD obtained by the weighted inversion. The combination of these two contributions not only reduces the number of scattering angles needed, but also keeps the PSD recovery results from getting worse because of excessive scattering angles.
