TL;DR: In this article, the basic principles of nanoparticle synthesis by conventional pulsed laser ablation are described and the theoretical development and analysis of the experimental results are given for condensation, expansion and properties of silicon nanoclusters.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it is possible to control the surface plasmon band absorption in SERS experiments performed with methylene blue, zinc octacarboxyphthalocyanine, 4-aminothiophenol and cysteamine, and a strong influence of the nature of the adsorbed molecule on the enhancement factor for a given wavelength is noticed.

TL;DR: In this article, a photoluminescence study of silicon nanoclusters deposited by laser ablation is presented, where a fine correlation between the emission band and the corresponding emitting size is made.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of numerical simulation of pulsed laser ablation both in vacuum and into a background gas are presented and the influence of different processes, such as time evolution of the surface temperature, interspecies interactions (elastic collisions, recombination-dissociation reaction), interaction with an ambient gas, and excitations-relaxation processes on time-of-flight (TOF) distributions are examined.

TL;DR: In this article, surface enhanced spectroscopy signal arising from dye molecules (methylene blue, crystal violet and octadecylrhodamine B) deposited on gold nanostructures fabricated onto two kinds of substrates: silicon wafer or glass.
