ABSTRACT:
The method of the present invention generates a regularly lined electric field inside a container1retaining a sample formed by dispersing particle groups in a liquid by a voltage being applied to an electrode pair2provided in the container1, generates a diffraction grating by a density distribution of the particle groups in the sample inside the container1, and when acquiring a diffusion coefficient of particles from a temporal variation of intensity in a disappearing process of a diffracted light obtained by irradiating a beam of light to the diffraction grating generated by the density distribution of the particle groups, performs a particle size analysis of the particle groups by using an approximate analysis expression of a diffracted light attenuation, I(t)=∝exp[−2q2Dt] which uses q=2π/Λ defined by a particle concentration modulation period Λ in the density distribution diffraction grating of the particle groups, and the Einstein-Stokes relation. And if particle groups having a known particle size are dispersed in a liquid to be measured and similar measurements are performed, viscosity analysis of the liquid to be measured can be performed.
