In the present study, we have synthesized copper/copper-oxide nanoparticles by laser ablation of copper metal in aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The focused output of 1064 nm wavelength of pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used for ablation. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by UV-visible absorption, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The synthesis of copper/copper oxide nanoparticles are confirmed by XRD and Raman studies. The possible mechanism of nanoparticle formation is also discussed.
