Silver nanoparticles were produced by irradiating a silver plate with 1064 nm laser beam in pure water. The effect of the laser fluence and ablation time on the ablation efficiency was studied. Fragmentation of the ablated colloid solution by subsequent treatment with 1064 and 532 nm laser pulses yield redistribution of nanoparticles to a smaller mean size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
