Abstract

First, a simple model describes theoretically the processes involved in the irradiation of solid targets by femtosecond laser pulses and predicts the optimal target and laser parameters for efficient nanoparticles synthesis. Then, we show experimental evidence for successful synthesis of aluminum nanoparticles. Nanoparticles size distribution, morphology, atomic structure, and chemical composition are determined by various techniques, including x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy.
