Laser-assisted Formation of Metallic Nanoparticles: Theory, fabrication and applications

By Ritesh Sachan

Laser-driven techniques for metallic nanoparticle synthesis are advancing rapidly, offering unique capabilities for energy and electronic applications. Unlike conventional chemical routes, ultrafast laser methods exploit transient, non-equilibrium conditions to produce novel nanostructures. This book provides an overview of both theoretical and experimental aspects of laser-based fabrication, including top-down approaches such as laser-induced liquid-state dewetting for mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles.

It also examines emerging multimetallic and high-entropy alloy systems, alongside laser ablation in liquids, a versatile strategy for generating diverse nanoparticle libraries. Detailed discussions of structural, optical, electronic, and catalytic properties highlight their integration into next-generation energy conversion and electronic technologies.
