In situ study of nucleation and aggregation phases for nanoparticles grown by laser-driven methods.

ABSTRACT: In the last decades, nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have become fundamental and irreplaceable in many fields of science and technology. When used in applications, their properties depend on many factors such as size, shape, internal structure and composition. For this, exact knowledge of their structural features is essential when developing fabrication technologies and searching for new types of nanostructures or nanoparticles with specific properties. For the latter, the knowledge of the precise temporal evolution of the growth processes is fundamental when it comes to industrial production and applications. Here we present a method to control, with very high precision, the starting of the aggregation phase during the Laser Ablation in solution growth process. This is obtained by mon
