ABSTRACT
Distinctly, the thermodynamic and kinetic factors of pulsed-laser-
induced liquid-solid interface reaction (PLIIR) can greatly influence
nanocrystal formation based on the understanding of the evolution
of the laser-induced plasma generated by PLIIR. Taking the pulsed-
laser ablation of graphite and aluminium targets inwater as a typical
example, we contribute a basic description of thermodynamic
and kinetic factors of PLIIR by detailed characterizations of
three important thermodynamic parameters, i.e. density of species,
temperature and pressure, of the laser-induced plasma.
