We have successfully deposited well-dispersed nanoscale chromium oxide part
icles by laser-induced solution deposition (LISD) from solution with CrCl2
and organic solvents. The particles have narrow distributions about three s
izes: 230, 350 and 400 nm and are uniform in composition and contain little
contamination. We show that LISD is a new technique for producing nanopart
icle chromium oxides with uniform composition, controllable size and high y
