Abstract

The effect of laser fluence on the characteristics of Cu nanoparticles, prepared by laser ablation method, is investigated experimentally. 1–6 nm Cu nanoparticles were synthesized by the pulsed laser ablation of a high purity copper bulk in acetone. Effect of laser fluence on the size, morphology and structure of produced nanoparticles has been studied. Pulses of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser of 1,064 nm wavelengths at 7 ns pulse width at different fluences was employed to irradiate the Cu target in acetone. The UV–Vis–NIR absorption spectra of nanoparticles exhibit surface plasmon resonance absorption peak in the visible region. TEM and SEM micrographs indicate that with increasing the laser fluence the average size of spherical Cu nanoparticles is decreased and only the sample which is produced with the highest fluence shows exceptional behavior. It is found that Cu nanoparticles exhibit photoluminescence emission with single peak due to its interband transition.
