Liquid-phase laser ablation

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The irradiation of an intense laser pulse onto a solid target immersed in liquid produces dense plasma. The plasma produced by liquid-phase laser ablation has unique features at high pressure and temperature, which are never realized by liquid-phase discharges. Another unique characteristic of liquid-phase laser ablation is the formation of a cavitation bubble. This article reports the fundamental aspects of liquid-phase laser-ablation plasmas, cavitation bubbles, and the formation processes of nanoparticles, together with some applications of liquid-phase laser ablation.
