Abstract

Laser-assisted material processing using ultrafast laser sources is an important and promising research direction aiming surface or volumetric modifications of different materials. In particular, pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLALs) method allows forming a wide set of nanostructures in the form of colloidal solutions. Recently, this approach has also been demonstrated as an effective facile route of the successful formation of silicon-gold nanoparticles (Si-Au NPs) [1] that extended the application of silicon nanostructures in the field of plasmonics [2]. Nevertheless, the laser-assisted nanosynthesis of multi-element semiconductor-metallic nanoparticles is still challenging being at the initial stage of its development.
