Abstract

The conditions for the synthesis of zinc, copper and iron oxides nanostructures using plasma nanosecond high-current discharge in air when introducing electrodes material vapor into a plasma due ectonic mechanism and the main parameters of the plasma are investigated. It is shown that this discharge can be used for the synthesis of nanoparticles of transition metal oxides on a dielectric substrate. Optical characteristics of nanostructures are given
