Abstract

The effect of energy density on the yield of silicon nanoparticles was studied. Silicon nanoparticles were prepared by laser ablation in ethanol. The yield of nanoparticles was calculated and its results indicate that high energy density led to more nanoparticles production. Particle size was also affected by varying energy density. From TEM images, higher energy density resulted in smaller nanoparticles, which can be explained by nucleation and growth theory. Photoluminescence spectra revealed blue shift of emission peak at high energy density supporting TEM results. Silicon peak was detected by EDS analysis along with oxygen. This means oxidation of silicon might occur within the sample.
