Medium power (0.3 -8.0 W) 970 nm in wavelength laser irradiation of water with added Ag nanoparticles (in the form of Ag-albumin complexes) through 400 μm optical fiber stimulates self-organization of filaments of Ag nanoparticles for a few minutes. These filaments represent themselves long (up to 14 cm) liquid gradient fibers with unexpectedly thin (10 -80 μm) core diameter. They are stable in the course of laser irradiation being destroyed after laser radiation off. Such effect of filaments of Ag nanoparticles self-organization is rationalized by the peculiarities of laser-induced hydrodynamic processes developed in water in presence of laser light and by formation of liquid fibers.Micro-image (in transmission mode) of filament of Ag nanoparticles fabricated in water nearby optical fiber tip at 2.5 W of laser power
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
