研究目的
Investigating the selective generation of femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on a metal/semiconductor alloy (Ag-Si) and its impact on surface wettability.
研究成果
The selective generation of LIPSS on the Si phase of an Ag-Si alloy significantly alters the surface wettability, reducing the water contact angle on the Si phase and enabling targeted droplet movement. This approach offers potential applications in microfluidic devices and fundamental wettability research.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific composition and preparation of the Ag-Si alloy, the laser parameters used, and the environmental conditions during laser irradiation. The applicability of the findings to other metal/semiconductor systems or under different laser conditions is not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulses to selectively generate LIPSS on the Si phase of an Ag-Si alloy, exploiting the different ablation thresholds of Si and Ag.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
An Ag-Si alloy with a composition of 10 wt.% Si was prepared and heat-treated to achieve coarse Si crystallites.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A diode pumped Yb:KYW thin disc fs-laser system, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy, white light interference microscopy (WLIM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The alloy was irradiated with fs-laser pulses, and the surface morphology, chemistry, and wettability were characterized before and after irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The spatial period of LIPSS was determined by 2D Fast Fourier Transformation, and surface roughness was quantified by AFM. Wettability was analyzed by contact angle measurements and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).
