Abstract
Laser ablation in liquids was successfully applied to produce nanosized oxides from Si, Ti and Zn targets. The obtained colloidal solutions of nanoparticles were investigated by complementary techniques: AFM, IR and Raman spectroscopies; optical absorption and time resolved photoluminescence. The results demonstrate the production of SiO2, TiO2 and ZnO. The absorption and emission properties of these material have been also investigated and appear to be promising for optical applications.
