SYNTHESIS OF THE ZINC OXIDE NANOCLUSTERS DOPED WITH COPPER FROM ORTHOPHOSPHATE SALTS IN POROUS SAMPLES ON LASER ABLATION

Abstract

Spectroscopic studies of the surface laser plasma formed close to the porous body containing nanoquantities of different zinc and copper salts under the effect of two successive pulses have been performed. The potentialities for the development of the metal oxide nanoclusters formation methods have been demonstrated. It has been shown that, depending on the concentration of the starting metals in the solutions used, one can vary the quantity and composition of the clusters.
