Visible and IR spectroscopy of ablative ytterbium nanoparticles

The presence of plasmon resonance in the region of 375 nm for ytterbium nanoparticles obtained by laser ablation in the stabilizer of AOT in heptane is established in the work. The dimensions of the ytterbium nanoparticles are determined by the dynamic scattering method. Raman spectra and absorption spectra were measured in the IR region. Characteristic vibration frequencies for ytterbium nanoparticles and scattering bands for a pure ytterbium metal surface are determined.
