Abstract

Copper (Cu) particles have been fabricated by pulsed excimer laser ablation of a Cu target in a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) aqueous solution. The particles are agglomerated from Cu nanocrystals. Some of the particles are hollow. Comparison to Cu particles produced in water by the same procedure shows that both the SDS and laser-nanocrystal interaction play important roles in the agglomeration process..
