    Abstract

    Two novel automated methods for the determination of surface roughness and chemical distribution in individual nanoparticles are presented and applied to nanoparticles synthesised by the galvanic replacement reaction. The two methodologies apply the determination of circumferential and radial line profiles to determine surface roughness and elemental distribution respectively. The surface roughness analysis provides details on localised changes in roughness in comparison to single measures of circularity. The X-ray spectroscopic concentric ring scan outperforms conventional line scans when elemental distribution approximately possesses a spherical symmetry.
