Abstract

Nanostructures of oxides of 3d—5d transient metals: copper, zinc, zirconium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium are synthesized by laser ablation of pure metals in water. Electro-optical and X-ray studies showed that the layered material composing nanostructures is mostly in an amorphous state and apparently consists of molecular clusters no larger than 1—2 nm. The structures of studied oxides are similar and are shaped as conglomerates of nanoscale solid and hollow spheroids, plates, threads, and foam formations.
