Flow-Rate-Controlled Agglomeration and Ambient Oxide Phase Characteristics of Spark-Ablated Copper Nanoparticles

Spark ablation is an attractive gas-phase route for producing ligand-free metal nanoparticles, yet control over agglomeration and phase evolution during deposition remains challenging. The influence of carrier gas flow rate and deposition time on the agglomerate morphology, size...
