Abstract:
1. A method for depositing nanoparticles of crystalline TiO 2 or nanocomposite films of crystalline TiO 2 , comprising: providing a target comprised of a titanium-containing material; providing a substrate to support the deposited nanoparticles of crystalline TiO ablating regions of said target with ultrafast laser pulses, wherein an ultrafast pulse width is in the range of about 10 fs to 100 ps, and a fluence of an ultrafast pulse at a surface of said target is in the range of about 0.01 J/cm depositing said nanoparticles of crystalline TiO wherein, at said room temperature and at said background pressure of about 100 Pa or less, said method can produce functional nanoparticles or functional nanocomposite films of crystalline TiO
