Laser ablation of a platinum target in water. II. Ablation rate and nanoparticle size distributions

This is the second in a series of three papers examining nanomaterial formation in laser ablation in liquids (LAL). Here we study the effect of the laser wavelength and fluence on the mass yield and size distribution of nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation of a platinum target immersed in wat…
