Abstract
We report the synthesis of aluminum nanoparticles using pulsed laser ablation in water confined plasma. Nanoparticles have spherical shape and size distribution depends on laser fluence. Strong blue photoluminescence peaks at 405 nm (3.06 eV) and 430 nm (2.89 eV) due to oxygen deficient defects (F, F+, and F++ centers) is reported with different UV excitations. A comparative study of plasma in deionized water and air ambient reveals enhanced line broadening and higher electron density in water confined plasma compared to that in air, in agreement with radiative recombination model. The temporal dependence of spectral radiant energy density of plasma is also discussed.
