Optical characterization of one-step synthesis of ternary nanoalloy by laser ablation of stainless steel target in Hexane

In this work, we ablated stainless steel target in Hexane by 355 nm by tuning laser power to synthesize ternary nanoalloys from its constituents. XRD patterns didn't match with any machine code of carbides, carbonyls and oxides of target elements. Also, they didn't match with any of binary alloys, suggesting the formation of carbides or carbonyls of ternary nanoalloys. In addition, the optical properties of nanoalloys confirms the resonance fluorescence and multistep excitation. By tuning laser power, the shape of nanoalloys is controlled.
