Title: Growth Processes of Nanoparticles in Liquid-Phase Laser Ablation Studied by Laser-Light Scattering
Abstract: We applied laser-light scattering for investigating the growth processes of nanoparticles in liquid-phase laser ablation. We observed the growth of nanoparticles inside the cavitation bubble. This means that particles ejected from the target are transported into the cavitation bubble, and they condense into nanoparticles inside it. The production of nanoparticles was efficient until 3 µs after the irradiation of the laser pulse for ablation, indicating the fast growth of nanoparticles. A part of nanoparticles was transported from the cavitation bubble toward the water, but the great portion of nanoparticles was stored in the cavitation bubble until the collapse.
