ABSTRACT

Structural, morphological and optical properties of nanoproducts of laser ablation of zirconium target in water and aqueous SDS solutions were

investigated. Depending on experiment conditions the indicated products can appear as different crystalline phases of zirconia and organic-inorganic composites, which include SDS alkyl chains intercalated between layers of zirconium oxides or hydroxides. The formation of zirconium dioxidebased hollow nano and microstructures is demonstrated. It is suggested that ablation formed gas-vapor bubbles can serve as templates for generation of hollow structures.
