[ 1 ] - Nonlinear Optical Absorption of Carbon Nanostructures Synthesized by Laser Ablation of Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite in Organic Solvents

In this study, Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite was ablated in various polar and nonpolar solvents by Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (wavelength=1064 nm, frequency=2 kHz, pulse duration=240 ns). Then, the products were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The images showed that different carbon structures such as cauliflower-like structures...
