We synthesized TiO 2 nanoparticles by pulsed laser ablation of titanium target immersed in an aqueous solution of surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or deionized water. The surfactant concentration dependence on size of TiO 2 nanoparticles was investigated. The maximum amount of nanoparticles (with mean size of 40 nm in diameter) was obtained in an aqueous solution of 0.001 M SDS. We have also studied the effect of laser wavelength on growth of TiO 2 nanoparticles. UV/visible spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy observations were employed for characterization of optical properties and particle sizes respectively. As TiO 2 is a famous photocatalyst, we have also done photocatalytic test by Methyl Orange under UV irradiation for prepared samples.

We synthesized ultrafine TiO2 nanoparticles by pulsed laser ablation of a titanium target immersed in an aqueous solution of surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or deionized water. The surfactant concentration dependence of TiO2 nanocrystal formation was systematically investigated by various characterization techniques. The maximum amount of ultrafine anatase nanocrystalline particles (with mean size of 3 nm in diameter) was obtained in an aqueous solution of 0.01 M SDS. A probable formation process was proposed based on the laser-induced reactive quenching and surfactant-mediated growth. The phase transformation and particle growth of as-prepared products were also investigated by heat treatment up to 500 °C. Single-phase anatase nanoparticles with a mean size of 8 nm were obtained by heat treatment of samples prepared in water or in a 0.01 M SDS solution. Particle size did not substantially increase through annealing, probably due to the relatively homogeneous size distribution and crystallinity of as-prepared titania nanoparticles.

ABSTRACTCadmium based oxide and hydroxide nanocomposites material is synthesized by pulsed laser ablation of cadmium metal in the double distilled water. A piece of cadmium metal, placed on the bottom of glass vessel containing double distilled water, was irradiated with 1064 nm of pulsed Nd:YAG laser operating at 35 mJ/pulse energy and 10 ns pulse width for 30 minutes. Colloidal solution of produced Nanoparticles is found stable for two days. Fine white colored powder is obtained after drying centrifuged solution. UV-visible absorption of colloidal solution, XRD, TGA, DTA and FTIR of the powder is used for the characterization of material. Possible mechanism of synthesis and hydroxide to oxide transition is discussed.

Fe@Au is a type of nanoparticle that contains magnetic Fe NPs core with a fine layer of Au NPs synthesized using the Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid (PLAL) Method. These Fe@Au NPs characterized by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The result was obtained at different laser fluences (1.9, 2.2, and 2.5) J/cm2 with fixed pulse duration 5 ns, wavelength 532nm and number of pulse equal 100 pulsed. The obtained mean size of Fe@Au NPs at laser fluence (1.9, 2.2, and 2.5) J/cm2 was (63.65, 32.47 and 31.18) nm respectively. UV-Visible Spectrophotometer carves was showed a redshift toward longer wavelength by increasing particle size. Obtained results exhibited that the laser fluence plays a key role in the size, and dispersity of Fe@Au NPs.

We prepared Zinc oxide nanomaterial employing PLA (pulsed laser ablation) technique. A pure Zn target was immersed in ultra-pure water (UPW) and it was subjected to several pulses (1st. and 2nd. harmonic) of the pumping Nd: YAG laser. The influence of changing laser’s wavelength (1064, 532) nm on the characterization of the produced nanoparticles was studied. The results obtained from studying the structure, topography, and morphology of the product showed that the particles have a hexagonal shape. Also, changing the wavelength of the laser from 532nm to 1064nm leads to size reduction and density increasing of the nanoparticles.
