Laser Synthesis of Cerium-Doped Garnet Nanoparticles.

The application of a pulsed laser ablation technique for the generation of cerium-doped garnet nanoparticles in liquids is investigated. The morphological and optical properties of the obtained nanoparticles are demonstrated. Features introduced by the single crystals of GdAlGaO:Ce, LuAlO:Ce, and YAlGaO:Ce from which the nanoparticles are generated, as well as the parameters of a liquid media on the garnet nanoparticle generation are experimentally studied using TEM and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods.
