Abstract

Well dispersed Ag nanoparticles have been formed by a process denoted Through Thin Film Ablation. The nanoparticles were deposited on room temperature substrates, had a most probable size of 1 nm, and were not agglomerated. The nanoparticle deposit produced by this process showed no evidence of the larger particles commonly observed from conventional pulsed laser ablation that uses a bulk target. Synthesis of nanoparticles by Through Thin Film Ablation should be possible for any material that can be made as a thin film target and may enable the unique properties of isolated, non-agglomerated nanoparticles to be exploited more fully.
