Laser-based diagnostics in the gas-phase synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles

• Laser-based diagnostics provide unique insight in gas-phase nanoparticle synthesis.
• Spatially-resolved in situ information provides input for modeling reaction conditions.
• We give an overview over a rapidly expanding research field.

As gas-phase methods for the synthesis of tailored nanomaterials become increasingly sophisticated, the need for in situ diagnostics of reaction conditions and particle properties grows correspondingly. Laser-based methods provide a wide range of capabilities which are reviewed in this article.
