One-Step Fabricate of Copper Nanoparticles via Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid: Influence of Energies on Physical Characterization

Abstract

Pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) is considered a relatively fast, simple to manipulate, cost-effective abraoch, and enables the fabrecation of multiscale micro-nanostructures in one step, facilitating the fabrication process. Copper nanoparticles solution was prepared by PLAL technique using Nd:YAG laser in deionized water at (532 nm), (1000 pulse), and the energies (700 mJ, 800 mJ, 900 mJ, and 1000 mJ) with a fixed distance between the laser source and the sample, fixed amount of liquid, and the liquid rise above the copper was (5 mm). The effect of the excess of the laser energy in the preparation process was tested by analyzing the optical properties of the fabrecated samples by UV-Visible spectrophotometer, SEM, XRD, and EDX measurements.
