“…The whole process can take place in either liquid environment or a vacuum chamber, known as Liquid-phase Pulsed Laser Ablation (LP-PLA or PLA) and Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), respectively. Pulsed laser ablation method, which has been proven to be an effective method for fabrication of nano-sized metal QDs, including Au, Ag, Ti and Ni [90,[95][96][97], is also a promising method to fabricate QDs of compound semiconductors, such as FeO, ZnO, CdS and TiO 2 [55,91,92,98]. Ajimsha et al [55] prepared ZnO QDs with an average size of 7nm in various liquid media using PLA method ( Figure 5).…”
