研究目的
To analyze the influence of pulse duration, pulse energy, and temperature of liquid on the formation, morphology, and nonlinear optical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) of metals (In, Sn, Zn, W) with different hardness and melting points synthesized by laser ablation in liquid environment.
研究成果
Pulse duration significantly influences nanoparticle size, with ultra-short pulses producing smaller particles. Pulse energy and liquid temperature have minimal effect on morphology for low-hardness metals like In but show more influence for harder metals. Nonlinear optical properties depend on nanoparticle concentration and are affected by probe wavelength and intensity. The findings highlight the importance of laser parameters in tailoring nanoparticle properties for applications in optoelectronics.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific metals (In, Sn, Zn, W) and liquid (distilled water). The nonlinear optical measurements have error bars (±25% for γ and β), and the morphology changes over time, which may affect reproducibility. The use of different laser systems and parameters may introduce variability.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses laser ablation in liquid (distilled water) to synthesize nanoparticles from metal targets (In, Sn, Zn, W). Different pulse durations (5 ns, 200 ps, 60 fs), pulse energies, and liquid temperatures are varied to study their effects. Nonlinear optical properties are analyzed using the Z-scan technique, and morphology is studied using TEM, SEM, UV-vis absorption spectrometry, and XRD.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Metal targets of In, Sn, Zn, and W are selected based on their varying hardness and melting points. Nanoparticle suspensions are prepared in distilled water and analyzed over time.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes lasers (Nd:YAG, Ti:sapphire), lenses (150 mm and 400 mm focal length), quartz cell, CCD camera (Thorlabs), photodiode, oscilloscope, computer, translation stage, UV-vis spectrometer (Cary Series, Agilent Technologies), SEM (S-4800, Hitachi), TEM (JEM 2100F, Jeol), XRD (D8 Discover, Bruker AXS). Materials include distilled water and metal targets.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Laser pulses are focused on metal targets in a quartz cell with distilled water. The cell is moved during ablation to avoid localized heating. After ablation, suspensions are analyzed for absorption spectra, morphology (SEM/TEM), composition (XRD), and nonlinear optical properties (Z-scan) at various wavelengths and intensities.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Nonlinear absorption coefficients (β) and refractive indices (γ) are calculated from Z-scan curves using standard formulas. Morphology and size distributions are analyzed from SEM/TEM images, and composition is determined from XRD patterns.
