Measurements in nanotechnology are often quantified in terms of nanometers (nm), where 1 nm equals one billionth of a meter (10^-9 meters). Key parameters include: - Size: Diameter, length, and surface area of nanoparticles. - Shape: Morphological characteristics such as spherical, rod-like, or irregular shapes. - Surface Properties: Surface charge, chemical composition, and functionalization. - Optical Properties: Absorption, emission spectra, and quantum yield.
