Samples of different and well-characterized structural features are studied by optical limiting and pump-probe experiments. The influence of the diameter's size on the nano-object is demonstrated. Indeed, both nucleation and growth of gas bubbles are expected to be sensitive to diameter. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00005793/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00005793/file/structure.pdf %L hal-00005793 %U https://hal.science/hal-00005793 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ LCVN %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
