Micro-/nanoaggregates (MNA)

; -Average d (nm) is the average diameter of particles. Derived count rate (kcps) partially indicates the particle concentration. MA: the resuspended sediment of GQD after low speed centrifugation (400 ×g); MNA: the resuspended sediment of GQD obtained by high speed centrifugation (15,000 ×g). Derived count rate: the intensity of light scattered by particles, presented as “thousand counts per second (kcps).”
