A method for the production of silicon oxide particles includes the pyrolysis of a molecular stream with a silicon compound precursor, an oxygen source and a radiation absorbing gas. The pyrolysis is driven by a light beam such as an infrared laser beam. The method can be used in the production of nanoscale...http://www.google.fr/patents/US6471930?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US6471930 - Silicon oxide particles
