“…Additionally, new peaks at 524 cm" 1 , 948 cm" 1 and 989 cm" 1 Also shown in Fig. 4-8 Here, a comparison of the average diameter of chain-like nanoparticles synthesized at 10, 50 and 100 Torr in N2 and O2 ambient is illustrated PLA using an ArF excimer laser and found that the particle size increased with increasing total pressure of Ar/02 gas [167]. Based on the previously discussed results, it is therefore apparent that by varying growth pressure, the surface morphology of the synthesized products such as shape, size and degree of aggregation of the individual nanoparticles can be effectively controlled at room temperature, without in-situ or post annealing treatment performed on the samples.…”
