Study on the role of laser cavitation bubble for the production of NPs by laser ablation of metals in water

摘要

In this work the laser ablation of a metal target submerged in water has been performed. With the aim of relating the properties of the laser induced cavitation bubble dynamics with the formed nanoparticles (NPs) different experimental conditions have been used. Laser induced cavitation bubble is a dynamic process whose features are mainly dependent on the laser pulse parameters, external liquid pressure and target geometry.
