“…Nanoparticle formation by laser ablation has been extensively investigated in terms of the influence of laser parameters, target properties and ambient conditions. Whereas previous research mainly focused on metals [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] and metal alloys [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], in the past decade more and more studies have been published on particle generation by the laser ablation of organic materials too [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
