Abstract

Hercynite nanoparticles were obtained by pulsed laser ablation of hercynite in liquid media technique. Colloidal solutions of hercynite nanoparticles were synthesized in three different liquids by ablation using 532-nm output of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with three laser fluencies. Transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used for the characterization of these nanoparticles. The nanoparticles obtained were of spherical shapes with cubic crystalline structure. It was observed that the laser fluence and liquid media could affect the morphology and size of hercynite nanoparticles.
