Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a pulsed duration of 5-6ns and operating at 532nm was used to ablate the targets placed in double distilled water. In all the experiments laser fluence was kept fixed at 5.09J/cm2 and 18,000 laser pulses were used to ablate the target in each case. Optical micrographs of gold reveal the formation of very interesting ring structures. Increase in the temperature of double distilled water promotes the fusion of nanoparticles leading to the formation of nanochains, nanonetworks and super clusters.
