Catalytic properties.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.Laser-driven techniques for metallic nanoparticle synthesis are advancing rapidly, offering unique capabilities for energy and electronic applications. Unlike conventional chemical routes, ultrafast laser methods exploit transient, non-equilibrium conditions to produce novel nanostructures. This book provides an overview of both theoretical and experimental aspects of laser-based fabrication, including top-down approaches such as laser-induced liquid-state dewetting for mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles. It also examines emerging multimetallic and high-entropy alloy systems, alongside laser ablation in liquids, a versatile strategy for generating diverse nanoparticle libraries. Detailed discussions of structural, optical, electronic, and catalytic properties highlight their integration into next-generation energy conversion and electronic technologies.Researchers working who are interested in gaining insight into metallic nanoparticle preparation using ultrafast laser processing.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Ritesh Sachan is an assistant professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department at Oklahoma State University. His research interests include developing the fundamental understanding of nanoscale materials synthesis and microstructural evolution using laser-driven methods and advanced electron microscopy characterization methods. He has been working in this research area for ~15 years and has published over 90 publications.
