Popis: Changes in the shape and size of silver nanoparticles (NPs) during their laser and thermal sintering have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Aerosol silver NPs forming dendrid-like agglomerates 180 nm in size were synthesized by spark discharge and exposed to laser radiation and high temperature of 750 °C. The shape and size of the NPs were investigated depending on the power of the laser radiation and the temperature of the gas. It is estimated that, at a power density of laser radiation of the order of 103-104 W/cm2, the formation of spherical NPs with an average size of 140 nm is expected. Such particles turn out to be similar to NPs thermally heated in a gas flow at 750 °C for 6 seconds.
