Abstract

The article presents an analytical review of the literature concerning the features of the laser ablation process for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The laser ablation method is shown to be promising, which makes it possible to meet the specified requirements for the characteristics of nanoparticles. The
main factors affecting the obtained nanoparticles, such as laser parameters (source, wavelength, fluence, pulse duration and frequency), target material and geometric characteristics, and the state of the environment (liquid, gaseous medium, vacuum) are given. The development trends of the method are determined.
