Figure 1

TEM images of gold NPs synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in 0.17% sodium citrate solution for different ablation durations, namely, (a) 10 sec, (b) 120 sec, and (c) 300 sec (laser wavelength 248 nm, frequency 20 Hz, pulse duration 17 ns). (d) The size of gold NPs, extracted from TEM analysis, as a function of ablation duration.
