Description
Summary:Effects of laser fluence on the characteristics of copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles (NPs), produced by laser ablation method have been investigated experimentally. CuS nanoparticles were synthesized by the pulsed laser ablation of a high purity copper bulk in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Pulses of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser of 1064 nm wavelength at 7 ns pulse width and different fluences were employed to irradiate the Cu solid target in DMSO. The Effects of laser fluence on the size, morphology, and structure of produced nanoparticles have been studied. Results show that the size distribution of the generated CuS nanoparticles was augmented by increasing the laser fluence. The rate of CuS nanoparticles production was increased by increasing the laser fluence. The bandgap energy for CuS nanoparticles was calculated to be 3.77–3.94 eV.
