Laser ablation and fragmentation of Boron in liquids

Nanoparticles of elemental Boron are generated for the first time by laser ablation of a sintered Boron target in liquid isopropanol and subsequent laser fragmentation of the suspension. For this purpose an ytterbium doped fiber laser was used at wavelength of 1060-1070 nm, pulse repetition rate of...

Description
Summary:Nanoparticles of elemental Boron are generated for the first time by laser ablation of a sintered Boron target in liquid isopropanol and subsequent laser fragmentation of the suspension. For this purpose an ytterbium doped fiber laser was used at wavelength of 1060-1070 nm, pulse repetition rate of 20 kHz, and pulse duration of 200 ns. The size of Boron nanoparticles after ablation and fragmentation of the suspension is around 30 nm. Nanoparticles are made mostly of Boron and carbon, some particles have carbon shell. Allotropic composition of nanoparticles differs from that of the initial Boron target. Possible applications are discussed.
