Abstract

In an effort to characterize the exploding wire method for efficient production of nanoparticles, we are involved for studying this method in our laboratory. The copper wire of 0.26 mm diameter was exploded inside an enclosure made off stainless steel. The explosion was done by passing electric current through the wire by discharging the capacitor. In this paper we discuss the behavior of the electrical circuit in explosion process and the production of the nanoparticles after explosion.
