Abstract

A laser-based technology is presented for fabrication of oriented nanowires composed by nanoparticles. The nanowires were produced by nanosecond pulsed laser deposition in air at atmospheric pressure in the presence of an external magnetic field. The technology described is relevant to the preparation of nanowires of magnetic materials. Applying an external magnetic field during the deposition resulted in the formation of nanowires with lengths of a few microns oriented longitudinally to the magnetic field lines. The influence was investigated of the process parameters, namely, laser fluence, target-substrate distance, and wavelength used for ablation, on the morphology of the deposited samples. It was found that the degree of the nanowires’ orientation increased with the increase of the target-substrate distance. Also, the density of the deposited material was influenced by the laser fluence applied and by the wavelength used.
