Parametric Investigations on the Influence of 532 nm Nd:YAG Laser in Synthesizing Spherical Copper and Aluminum Nanoparticles Using Pulsed Laser Ablation Technique for Surface Plasmonic Applications

The second harmonic wavelength of a neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd-YAG) laser (λ=532 nm) was used in a pulsed laser ablation technique (PLAL) to synthesize aluminum nanoparticles suspended in white vinegar from an aluminum target. The nanoparticles were characterized by HRTEM and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. They were found to range in size between 2 and 50 nm in diameter, with an average diameter of 12±9 nm. The nanoparticles had a maximum absorption peak at 237 nm and were found to exhibit a core-shell structure with an Al core coated by a thin layer of an amorphous material which could be attributed to amorphous carbon. HRTEM results revealed that the small nanoparticles (<20 nm) had an fcc phase of aluminum crystalline structure, where the larger particles represented alumina (γ-Al2O3) nanoparticles. Such observation suggests that the use of white vinegar as an ablation medium could facilitate the synthesis of aluminum nanoparticles with minimal evidence of the existence of aluminum oxide nanoparticles in the resultant suspension.

Laser Ablation Technique

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.
