Using the methods of nanosecond laser ablation in isopropyl alcohol and dry grinding of germanium, germanium nanoparticles were obtained for their possible application in liquid high-index immersion. Structural, chemical, and optical characterization of colloidal nanoparticles was carried out using scanning electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
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.
