Cavitation bubble dynamics during pulsed laser ablation of a metallic glass in water

“…We believe that these deposited nanoparticles belong to the ablated matter that penetrates through the boundary of the bubble. These results support the idea that the bubble cavity is an important site for nanoparticle generation [1,2].…”

“…This intriguing phenomenon has versa-tile applications ranging from nanoparticle synthesis [1,2], surface cleaning [3] to luminescence [4]. The dynamics of cavitation bubble is of central importance since it reflects the fundamental response of liquid-plasma-solid system to laser ablation, and thus has drawn increasing interest [5][6][7][8].…”

Explosive boiling of a metallic glass superheated by nanosecond pulse laser ablation

“…3 This technology is also of great scientific interest, since the key question of how matter removes from a laserirradiated target remains open. In general, laser ablation involves three kinds of thermal processes: normal vaporization, normal boiling, and explosive boiling.…”

Group III–V and II–VI Quantum Dots and Nanoparticles

“…12.8 have been the most frequently utilized as anchors on the QD surface since they have strong affinity with Cd and Zn. In order to avoid surface reactants the in-water laser ablation can be used [17]. Adapted from [15] Nanoparticles can be effectively produced by means of high-energy ball milling.…”
