Abstract
We investigated the dependence of unipolar diffusion charging of nanoparticles on the dielectric constant of the particle material experimentally. The examined nanoparticles (10–200 nm) cover a wide range of dielectric constant but have almost the same spherical or compact morphology. Measurements of both intrinsic charged fraction and mean charge per particle show very small differences among different materials. The level of the small difference is consistent with the estimation by Fuchs’ [(1963). On the stationary charge distribution on aerosol particles in bipolar ionic atmosphere. Geofisica Pura e Applicata, 56, 185–193] theory.
