Preparation of TiO$$_{2}$$ nanoparticles by pulsed laser ablation; Ambient pressure dependence of crystallization

Matsubara, Masakazu*; Yamaki, Tetsuya; Ito, Hisayoshi; Abe, Hiroaki*; Asai, Keisuke*

Pulsed laser ablation with a KrF excimer laser was used to prepare fine particles of titanium dioxide (TiO$$_{2}$$). The ablation in an atmosphere of Ar and O$$_{2}$$ (5:5) at total pressures of $$geq$$ 1 Torr led to the formation of TiO$$_{2}$$ nanoparticles composed of anatase and rutile structures without any suboxides. The weight fraction of the rutile/anatase crystalline phases was controlled by the pressure of the Ar/O$$_{2}$$ gas. The TiO$$_{2}$$ nanoparticles had a spherical shape and their size, ranging from 10 and 14 nm, also appeared to be dependent on the ambient pressure.
