Laser induced plasma in liquid solid liquid interface and implication on nucleation of nanoparticles

Abstract

The present work focuses on transient evolution of pulsed laser induced breakdown process in liquid and solid liquid interface The focusing of high power laser inside a liquid media leads to plasma formation and shockwave emission When the same process takes place at a solid liquid interface the plasma from the solid target interacts with the surrounding liquid and under suitable condition results into formation of nanoparticulates On a larger time scale plasma is replaced by cavitation vap
