Abstract
Conference Title: 2013 10th International Conference on High Capacity Optical Networks and Enabling Technologies (HONET-CNS) Conference Start Date: 2013, Dec. 11 Conference End Date: 2013, Dec. 13 Conference Location: Magosa, Cyprus Pulsed laser ablation in liquids is a simple synthesis process of nano-particles for the production of high purity material with no need for any expensive instrumentation except laser. The 532 nm wavelength laser beam with 5 ns pulse width and 10 Hz repetition rate was an ablating laser source. In order to control the size and stoichiometry of the nano particles, the laser ablation was done in the presence of 9% of H2O2*The optical properties and structure of the prepared samples were studied using different analytical techniques, such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS), X-ray Diffraction, UV-Visible absorption, Photoluminescence, FT-IR. In order to study the morphology of the prepared nano-sized powders, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope was used. From the above analytical studies it was found that the particle size was between 13 and 28 nanometer, while the band gap energy was estimated to be 2.46 eV.
