Nanoparticle is any material having atleast one of itsdimensions in the range of 1-100nm.
“Nano” – derived from a Greek word “Nanos” meaningDWARF or small.
'Norio Taniguchi, 1974‘ -- coined the term nanotechnology
NPs are mainly of two types1) Monodispersed-such NPs are uniformly sized Difficult to synthesize
2) Polydispersed-these NPs have non uniform dimensions.

Top-down Approach
Building something by starting with a larger component andcarving away material (like a sculpture)
In nanotechnology: patterning (using photolithography) andetching away material, as in building integrated circuits

Mechanical Milling
• Nanoparticles from mechanical attrition are produced by a “top-down” process
• Nanoparticles formed in a mechanical device, generically referred to as a “mill,” inwhich energy is imparted to a course-grained material to effect a reduction in particlesize.
• The resulting particulate powders can exhibit nanostructural characteristics on atleast two levels.
• First, the particles themselves, which normally possess a distribution of sizes, can be“nanoparticles” if their average characteristic dimension (diameter for sphericalparticles) is less than 100 nm .
• Second, many of the materials milled in mechanical attrition devices are highlycrystalline, such that the crystallite (grain) size after milling is often between 1 and 10nm in diameter. Such materials are termed “nanocrystalline”.
• During the milling process, large amount of strain imparted to particles, it is virtuallyimpossible to obtain defect-free crystals via mechanical attrition. As a result, we willadhere to the more general definitions; that is, nanocrystals are 1–10 nm in diameter,and nanoparticles are less than 100 nm in diameter.

Principles of Milling• The fundamental principle of size reduction in mechanical attrition devices lies in the
energy imparted to the sample during impacts between the milling media.
• This model represents the moment of collision, during which particles are trappedbetween two colliding balls within a space occupied by mass of powder particles.

Laser Ablation
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER)
• Using a laser to vaporize material.16
• NPs by laser ablation, which involves the generation of NPs by laser ablating asolid target that lies in a gaseous or a liquid environment and collection of theNPs in the form of nanopowder or a colloidal solution.
• It is an easy, fast and straightforward method for NPs synthesis/generation ascompared to other methods. It does not require long reaction times or multi-stepchemical synthetic procedures.
• It does not require the use of toxic/hazardous chemical precursors fornanomaterial synthesis and thus is an environmentally friendly (“green”) andlaboratory safe method.
• In the event that generation occurs in water, the resulting NPs, colloidal solutionsare ultrapure, (i.e., they do not contain any counter ions or reaction by- products),and this facilitates the use of the these NPs in biological or biochemical in vivoapplications.
• The produced NPs can easily be functionalized with a ligand of choice, throughthe subsequent addition of the ligand into the NPs’ colloidal solution after itssynthesis or by performing the ablation in a suitable solvent.

Synthesis of Nanoparticles by LA
To synthesize Ag (Cu2O @ Cu) NPsby LA, a high purity silver (copper)slice is placed on the bottom of glassvessel containing 20 ml of distilledwater.
It is irradiated with focused output of1064 nm of pulsed Nd:YAG laser(Spectra Physics Inc. USA) operatingat fixed energy for 30 minutes.
This results a yellow color in Ag (lightgreen in Copper) colloidal solution.

The distinctive colors of colloidal gold and silver are due to a phenomenon known as plasmonabsorbance. Incident light creates oscillations in conduction electrons on the surface of thenanoparticles and electromagnetic radiation is absorbed.
Surface plasmon resonance
When a nanoparticle is much smaller than thewave length of light, coherent oscillation of theconduction band electrons induced by interactionwith an electromagnetic field. This resonance iscalled Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR).
