CONTROLLED GROWTH OF ISOLATED VANADIUM NANOSTRUCTURES VIA PULSED LASER ABLATION Article (Web of Science)

abstract

  • Utilizing pulsed laser ablation we show that it is possible to grow isolated nanostructures of vanadium whose shape and size are controllable simply by changing the background pressure of an inert gas in the growth chamber. The nanostructures obtained are characterized through scanning electron microscopy measurements. The range of nanostructures obtained by a simple one parameter control suggest that further synthesis of more sophisticated nanoscale composite structures should be possible if multistep growth and processing are employed.
