Size distribution of Au NPs generated by laser ablation of a gold target in liquid with time-delayed femtosecond pulses
Abstract
The influence of delay-time between two sequential femtosecond pulses on the properties of nanoparticles obtained via laser ablation of gold in ethanol has been studied. The morphological and optical properties of the nanoparticles attained were characterized using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and UVVis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. Furthermore, the size distribution of nanoparticles was determined by means of a centrifugal sedimentation particle size analyzer. It is found that the time delay variations lead to corresponding changes in size distribution, plasmon resonance position as well as the rate of nanoparticles generation.
