Laser-Induced Formation of Bismuth Nanoparticles
Abstract: In the current communication, the synthesis of metallic Bi nanoparticles with coexisting crystallographic structures (rhombohedral, monoclinic, and cubic) obtained by direct femtosecond laser irradiation of NaBiO3, is demonstrated for the first time. By exploring the use of high laser power values, it is revealed that the promoted laser-mediated reactions lead to the synthesis of coexisting phases in metal nanoparticles, which may be a widely occurring phe- nomenon in other materials under femtosecond laser irradi- ation, and a fundamental concern for laser-based nanofabri- cation.
