Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method of producing a chemically pure and stably dispersed organic nanoparticle colloidal suspension using an ultrafast pulsed laser ablation process. The method comprises irradiating a target of an organic compound material in contact with a poor solvent with ultrashort laser pulses at a high repetition rate and collecting the nanoparticles of the organic compound produced. The method may be implemented with a high repetition rate ultrafast pulsed laser source, an optical system for focusing and moving the pulsed laser beam, an organic compound target in contact with a poor solvent, and a solvent circulating system to cool the laser focal volume and collect the produced nanoparticle products. By controlling various laser parameters, and with optional poor solvent flow movement, the method provides stable colloids of dispersed organic nanoparticles in the poor solvent in the absence of any stabilizing agents.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for producing a nanoparticle colloidal suspension of organic material dispersed in a poor solvent liquid, the method comprising steps of: irradiating a shaped bulk target of an organic compound material with an ultrashort pulsed laser beam having a pulse duration of 500 picoseconds or less and a pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz to 100 MHz, the target mounted during said irradiating over a flow cell holding the liquid so that at least a portion of the target is…
