A Classification of CNC particles into four sub-populations based on AE width and rectangularity. Scatter plots of AE width versus rectangularity are shown for four sonication doses, illustrating the evolution of the system under sonication. B Representative examples of each particle sub-population. Evolution under sonication indicated by black arrows. Scale bar 200 nm. C Relative volume fraction of each particle sub-population versus sonication dose. D Modulation of chiral strength with relative dopant volume fraction. Error bars indicate standard deviation of 30 measurements. Grey dotted line indicates linear correlation. Grey shaded region indicates uncertainty in fitting.
