Very small and pure Ag nanoparticles are generated by pulsed-laser ablation in water of a silver target rotated at a high-speed.
While doping is crucial for numerous technological applications, its control remains difficult especially when the material is reduced down to the nanometric scale. We suggest a new way to dope nanoparticles using laser ablation in liquids.
