AI Article Synopsis
- Silver nanoparticles were transformed into ellipsoidal shapes through intense femtosecond laser pulses.
- Various microscopy techniques, including microscope spectrometry and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), were used to analyze both irradiated and non-irradiated areas of the samples.
- NSOM demonstrated exceptional ability to identify the shapes, orientations, and aspect ratios of the modified nanoparticles.
Article Abstract
: Samples containing single silver nanoparticles have been irradiated by intense femtosecond laser pulses to gain a persistent transformation of their shape to ellipsoidal forms. Irradiated and non-irradiated regions of these samples have been analyzed by microscope spectrometry as well as near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) with several wavelengths and different linear polarizations. The results show the outstanding capability of NSOM technique to detect the individual shape of transformed metallic nanoparticles and to analyze their orientation and aspect ratio.
