Pulsed laser ablation of metal samples in liquid
environments by using a combination of two laser beams has been examined in
order to clarify a possibility of the formation of size-selected
nanoparticles with controlled dimensions. It has been shown that
double-pulse laser ablation technique in transparent liquids can be a good
choice for fabrication of stable metal nanoparticles where an efficiency of
ablation process can be increased and the wider range of a controllable
variation of the mean diameter of the fabricated particles can be achieved.
