Expansion-Limited Nanocluster Growth in a Plume Formed by MHz-Pulse-Rate Laser Ablation

Rode A.V., Madsen N.R., Gamaly E.G., Luther-Davies B., The Australian National University, AU

Material parameters of a solid experience a dramatic change when cluster size becomes less than a certain critical value. Hence, one can control material properties through control over cluster size. Previously we have produced and [...]

Spin Glass Behaviour of Magnetic Carbon Nanoclusters

Rode A.V., Christy A.G., Madsen N.R., Gamaly E.G., Luther-Davies B., Arcon D., Zorko A., Jaglicic Z., The Australian National University, AU

Carbon nanoclusters produced by high-repetition-rate laser ablation of graphite and glassy carbon in Ar exhibits para- and ferromagnetic behavior up to 90 K, showing a narrow hysteresis curve with a coercive force Hc = 420 [...]
