Abstract

Pulsed laser melting in liquid (PLML) has been developed to fabricate crystalline spherical submicrometer particles by irradiating lasers onto raw particles dispersed in a liquid. This technique is based on photothermal processing of particles dispersed in a liquid and is similar to the resha** of noble metals nanoparticles such as Au and Ag. However, this phenomenon can be extended beyond Au and Ag using appropriate laser fluences to reshape or melt agglomerated or aggregated particles from raw particles of various materials (semiconductors, oxides, carbides, etc.) to form large submicrometer particles. The produced particles have a submicrometer size range due to the heating efficiency of raw particles caused by laser irradiation. The formation of spherical particles is controlled by rapid heating above melting points, and the instantaneously formed vapor layers (thermally induced nanobubbles) play a significant role in inducing rapid temperature increase. This chapter discusses how thermally induced nanobubbles enhance the rapid temperature increase as well as the maximum attained temperature. A novel technique for monitoring the formation of thermally induced nanobubbles and the effect of transiently formed chemical species for particle reaction are also discussed.
