Synthesis of Highly Dispersed Spherical Metal Granules by Laser Ablation Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The work is devoted to the problem of synthesis of highly dispersed spherical powder granules by laser ablation. The formation of microspheres is carried out by the action of femtosecond laser radiation on the surface of a titanium target in a two-component reaction medium. The process of titanium treatment in n-hexane by ultrashort laser pulses is investigated. It is shown that the use of n-hexane as a working medium component allows the synthesis of micro-and nanopowders containing titanium carbide, which are resistant to atmospheric environment during prolonged exposure. The presented method provides the possibility of synthesis of high-purity powder materials with typical sizes from 1 to 3 microns.
