Model of formation a metal nanoclusters under laser action in colloidal solution

The results of experimental studies of the production of metal nanoclusters in colloidal solutions are presented. Models based on the Smoluchowski equation for concentrations of nanoparticles of various sizes, as well as a model of cluster-cluster aggregation, are proposed, which can be useful in studying the processes of nanocluster formation in colloidal solutions.
