• reason, single NP analysis techniques are necessary to understand size effects on the NP properties [9][10][11]. In this article, we propose an original route to prepare CoPt bimetallic NPs with uniform size and shape by using nanosecond annealing with pulsed laser radiation at 248 nm. This technique has
