Abstract:A method for the formation of metal nanoparticles in a localized volume with a high energy density due to the flow of a pulsed electric discharge and the cavitation effect was studied. The mechanism of the formation of energy inhomogeneities providing for the generation of nanoparticles with a high specific energy intensity was considered. Dynamic heterogeneity forms in three stages. There is a breakdown of the inter-electrode gap and the formation of a vacuum volume filled with a vapor-gas medium. When the pr… Show more
