Synthesis of nanocrystalline cubic zirconia using femtosecond laser ablation

Photoluminescence quenching of Zirconia nanoparticle by surface modification

“…ZrO 2 -NPs have been synthesized using variety of techniques like sol-gel processing [11,12], chemical vapor synthesis [13], precipitation from solutions [14,15], plasma synthesis [16], condensation [17], combustion synthesis [18], ultrasonically assisted hydrothermal synthesis [19] and laser ablation [20]. Hydrothermal is one of the most common and promising method for the synthesis of ZrO 2 nanoparticles due to its simplicity and lower reaction temperature (<150 • C).…”

Structural Modifications of KrF Excimer Laser-Ablated Zirconium Correlated to the Surface and Mechanical Properties

“…For deionized water (Figure 5a), Raman peaks identified at 320, 337 cm −1 represents the Zr─Zr bond. Peak identified at 535 cm −1 corresponds to O─O bond [27], while peaks appearing at 363, 372, 420, 480, and 640 cm −1 are characteristic bands of monoclinic ZrO 2 [28] and the peak identified at 269 cm −1 can be assigned to the presence of tetragonal ZrO 2 [29]. The inset of [28].…”

Structural, Morphological and Optical Properties of Nanoproducts of Zirconium Target Laser Ablation in Water and Aqueous SDS Solutions

“…Synthesis of oxides and other metal nanocompositions by laser ablation in a liquid environment is one of promising methods [14][15][16]. However, the data on zirconia generation by the mentioned way is far not sufficient [17][18][19][20][21]. The experiments were carried out mainly at low laser pulses repetition rate (~ 10 Hz), that limits the chances of establishing productive technologies, potential investigations of a number of physical and chemical processes accompanying the synthesis and affecting properties of the final product.…”
