Symmetry in nanomaterials can be analyzed using various techniques:
1. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): This technique helps in determining the crystal structure and symmetry by analyzing the diffraction patterns of X-rays passing through the material.
2. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): SEM provides high-resolution images that reveal the surface symmetry of nanostructures.
3. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): TEM allows for the observation of internal symmetry and atomic arrangements within nanomaterials.
