Although not studied in the present work, this technique holds promise for dynamic studies of reaction kinetics at the particle surface that result in changes in particle size, dielectric constant, or surface chemistry, which is of particular

• force microscopy combined with surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to enable trapping and chemical characterization of individual metallic nanoparticles [38]. Although not done in the present study, a combined approach using our methods and those of Kong et al. may be a powerful tool for dynamic

• conditions similar to those applied ex situ (e.g., oxidation of nanostructures under an oxygen atmosphere at high pressure). Until now the dynamic studies were limited to the oxidation of nanostructures in TEM liquid cells [48]. However, such an experiment requires a very specific temperature-controlled TEM

• variation in experimental protocols that is applied for dynamic studies is a natural outcome of their diversity. In order to put some order to these methods, it is necessary to understand the basics behind the physical phenomena. Here, we will limit the discussion to linear viscoelastic behavior, which
