Features of the synthesis of nanocollo id oxides by laser ablation of bulk metal targets in solutions

Laser ablation of bulk targets in a fluid — a promising new method for the synthesis of "pure" nanocolloids. Nanocrystalline materials produced by laser ablation are widely used in biology, medicine, and catalysis. High local temperature during ablation and large surface area of the particles promote chemical reactions and the formation of a complex composition of nanoparticles. In this paper the characteristics of the process of ablation and the obtaining of nanoparticles in a liquid by laser ablation of active materials (Zn, Ce, Ti, Si) were studied. Ways of increasing the productivity of laser ablation were discussed. Characterization of nanocolloids and nanocrystalline powders were performed. © (2015) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
