An overview of recent developments in the synthesis of aluminum nanoparticles (Al NPs) and their applications in the field of energetic materials is presented. Various methods of preparing the Al NPs of different sizes including physical (laser ablation) and chemical methods are highlighted. Some of the results obtained by our group on the passivation of the Al NPs are highlighted. The laser ablation in liquids technique with ultrashort (picosecond and femtosecond) laser pulses is a green technique for preparing Al NPs devoid of any precursors, whereas the chemicals method yields passivated Al NPs. Among the various applications of the Al NPs, energetic applications are discussed in detail. This article is concluded by emphasizing the prospects of Al NPs in various energetic applications and the future of different techniques to synthesize them.

Pulsed-laser ablation has been widely used to produce high-quality thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ on a range of substrate materials. The nonequilibrium nature of the process allows congruent deposition of oxides with complex stoichiometrics. In the high power density regime produced by the UV excimer lasers the ablated species includes a mixture of neutral atoms, molecules and ions. All these species play an important role in thin-film deposition. However, changes in the deposition parameters have been shown to affect the microstructure of thin YBa2Cu3O7-δ films. The formation of metastable configurations is possible because at the low substrate temperatures used, only shortrange rearrangement on the substrate surface can occur. The parameters associated directly with the laser ablation process, those determining the nature of the process, e g. thermal or nonthermal volatilization, have been classified as ‘primary parameters'. Other parameters may also affect the microstructure of the thin film. In this paper, the effects of these ‘secondary parameters' on the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-δ films will be discussed. Examples of 'secondary parameters' include the substrate temperature and the oxygen partial pressure during deposition.
