Abstract
There are many situations when it is desirable to estimate not only a diameter of the nanoparticles but also their composition and the composition of the interface between nanoparticles and surrounding matrix. Ion beam analysis methods, such as medium energy ion scattering spectroscopy and low energy ion scattering, offer distinctive advantages. This chapter will provide a background discussion of ion beam analysis (IBA) methods and give their advantages and limitations for nanoparticle characterization. To illustrate the applications of IBA methods to the characterization of ensembles of nanoparticles, several examples will be presented with the methodologies involved.
