Pulsed laser ablation of gold (Au) bulk immersed in ethanol and post-ablated size modification process were employed to generate homogeneous size distribution of nanoparticles (~15 nm) and different concentrations of Au colloids without using chemical reagents in the final preparation. A specific co...
