Magnesium nanoparticles of various mean diameters (53–239 nm) were synthesised in this study via pulsed laser ablation liquid (PLAL) from millimetre sized magnesium powders within isopropyl alcohol. It was observed a 3 × full factorial design experiments that the processing parameters can control nanoparticle distribution to produce three size-distribution types (bimodal, skewed and normal). Ab...

Laser ablation has several advantages over the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles due to its simplicity and because it is a faster and cleaner process. In this paper, we use femtosecond laser ablation to generate highly concentrated silver colloidal nanoparticle solutions. Those high concentrations usually lead to agglomeration of the nanoparticles, rendering the solution nearly useless. We em...

Hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica materials MCM-41 and SBA-15 have been synthesized and loaded with Ag nanoparticles, utilizing both chemical synthesis and ultrashort pulsed laser ablation in liquid. In laser ablation, a silver target, immersed in aqueous suspension of ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15, was irradiated by ultra-short laser pulses to generate silver nanoparticles. For comparis...

We report on the ablation and fabrication of optical waveguide using allyl-diglycol CR39 polymer. Pulse nanosecond (ns) laser (248 nm KrF) and continuous wave (CW) (244 nm argon-ion) irradiation are performed to observe surface modification on the polymer and potentially utilize it for channel waveguide. The pulsed UV laser creates craters with different depth as fluence increases to quantify t...

We review results of the femtosecond laser ablation of noble metals in pure water to synthesize colloidal nanoparticles. We show that such ablation leads to the formation of two different populations of nanoparticles (low and highly size-dispersed ones), while their mean size and relative contribution are strongly affected by the intensity of pumping radiation. Analyses of ablation craters on t...
