Abstract

Titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2) were produced by pulsed Nd:YAG laser ablation in water under the effect of an external magnetic field. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Vis spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the TiO2 nanoparticles. The XRD analysis of titanium oxide nanoparticles revealed that the synthesized nanoparticles were polycrystalline with mixed of tetragonal anatase and rutile TiO2. Scanning electron microscope shows the formation of spherical nanoparticles and the particles agglomeration decreases and the particle size from increases from 25 to 35 nm when the magnetic field applied. The optical energy gap of TiO2 nanoparticles decreased from 4.6 to 3.4 eV after using the magnetic field during the ablation. Raman studies show the existence of five vibration modes belong to TiO2. The antibacterial effect assay revealed a largest inhibition zone in S. aureus and E. coli, with a more potent effect for TiO2 NPs prepared by magnetic field when compared with that prepared without presence of magnetic field.
