This review concerns nanoparticles collected in the form of nanopowder or a colloidal
solution by laser ablating a solid target that lies in a gaseous or a liquid environment. The …

Femtosecond laser ablation in solution (FLAS) is a unique and simple technique addressing
the drawbacks of the conventional methods giving access to preparation of an ultra-broad …

Nanoparticles less than 100nm in size have attracted significant interest over the past 20
years due to their unique properties led by quantum size effect. This chapter evaluates the …

We present an inclusive overview of the ultrafast ablation technique performed in liquids.
Being a comparatively new method, we bring out the recent progress achieved, present the …

An ultrashort laser-assisted method for fast production of concentrated aqueous solutions of
ultrapure Si-based colloidal nanoparticles is reported. The method profits from the 3D …

Silicon nanoparticles were prepared by ultrafast laser ablation of a silicon target in
deionized water. The nanoparticles were characterized by using optical absorption, Raman …

The synthesis of silicon and silicon-based quantum dots (diameter< 5 nm) is discussed.
Specifically the synthesis of Si-based quantum dots (QDs) by atmospheric pressure plasmas …

We report on the synthesis of nanocrystalline zirconia in liquid using femtosecond laser
ablation. Nanocrystalline cubic zirconia has been prepared by femtosecond laser ablation of …

Highly size-controllable synthesis of free-standing perfectly crystalline silicon carbide
nanocrystals has been achieved for the first time through a plasma-based bottom-up …

Biofunctionalized silicon quantum dots were prepared through a one step strategy avoiding
