Abstract

Spherical aluminum oxide (γ-phase) nanoparticles with sizes below 30 nm were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in liquids. The wavelength and energy fluence of the nanosecond laser were set at 1064 nm and ∼1x103 J/cm2, respectively. The optimal repetition rate to maximize the production of those nanoparticles was determined to be at 2,129±64 Hz. Therefore, the lifetime of the cavitation bubble was estimated to be around 0.47±0.01 ms.
