Tailored focal beam shaping and its application in laser material processing
摘要： Besides the optimization of the laser and processing parameters, the adaptation of the focal intensity distribution offers great potential for a well-defined control of laser processing and for improving the processing results. In this paper, different tailored intensity distributions were discussed with respect to their suitability for femtosecond laser material processing on the micro- and nanoscale such as cutting, marking, and the generation of laser-induced periodic surface structures. It was shown by means of laser processing of stainless steel that the numerical simulations for the beam shaping unit are in good agreement with the experimental results. Also, the suitability of the beam shaping device to work with a scanner and an F-theta lens as commonly used for material processing was demonstrated. In this context, the improvement of the machining results was shown experimentally, and a significant reduction of the machining time was achieved.

Laser-induced graphitized periodic surface structure formed on tetrahedral amorphous carbon films
摘要： Femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS), graphitization and swelling observed on ultra-hard, hydrogen-free tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films are examined and compared with those on hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films, nitride films, and glassy carbon plates. The threshold fluence for LIPSS formation on ta-C is approximately twice as high as that for other specimens, and the LIPSS period Λ near the threshold is very fine at ca. 80 nm. Λ gradually increases with increasing fluence, and rapidly increases to ca. 600 nm at a high fluence. The ablation rate also increases rapidly at this fluence. In addition, ta-C and a-C:H are graphitized by irradiation and expand in volume. The surface layer of ta-C film changes to nanocrystalline graphite as the fluence increases and the crystallinity is improved; however, at higher fluence, the crystallinity deteriorates suddenly similar to that at low fluence. At high fluence, the rapid increase in Λ and the ablation rate, and the sudden deterioration in crystallinity are determined as common phenomena for these disordered carbons. LIPSS formation and swelling over a large area by scanned spot irradiation produces submicron height flat hills with conductivity and surface functionality on the insulating surface.

Chemical effects during the formation of various types of femtosecond laser-generated surface structures on titanium alloy
摘要： In this contribution, chemical, structural, and mechanical alterations in various types of femtosecond laser-generated surface structures, i.e., laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS, ripples), Grooves, and Spikes on titanium alloy, are characterized by various surface analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction and glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy. The formation of oxide layers of the different laser-based structures inherently influences the friction and wear performance as demonstrated in oil-lubricated reciprocating sliding tribological tests (RSTTs) along with subsequent elemental mapping by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. It is revealed that the fs-laser scan processing (790 nm, 30 fs, 1 kHz) of near-wavelength-sized LIPSS leads to the formation of a graded oxide layer extending a few hundreds of nanometers into depth, consisting mainly of amorphous oxides. Other superficial fs-laser-generated structures such as periodic Grooves and irregular Spikes produced at higher fluences and effective number of pulses per unit area present even thicker graded oxide layers that are also suitable for friction reduction and wear resistance. Ultimately, these femtosecond laser-induced nanostructured surface layers efficiently prevent a direct metal-to-metal contact in the RSTT and may act as an anchor layer for specific wear-reducing additives contained in the used engine oil.

Gate Tunable Symmetric Bipolar Junction Transistor Fabricated via Femtosecond Laser Processing
摘要： Two-dimensional (2D) bipolar junction transistor (BJT) with van der Waals heterostructures plays an important role in the development of future nanoelectronics. Herein, a convenient method is introduced for fabricating a symmetric bipolar junction transistor (SBJT) constructed with black phosphorus and MoS2 with femtosecond laser processing. This SBJT exhibits good bidirectional current amplification thanks to its symmetric structure. Next, we place a top gate on one side of the SBJT to change the difference in the major carrier concentration between the emitter and collector in order to further investigate the effect of electrostatic doping on the device’s performance. The SBJT can also act as a gate tunable phototransistor with good photodetectivity and photocurrent gain of β ~ 21. Scanning photocurrent images are used to determine the mechanism governing photocurrent amplification in the phototransistor. These results promote the development of the applications of multifunctional nanoelectronics based on 2D materials.

Single-step maskless nano-lithography on glass by femtosecond laser processing
摘要： Femtosecond laser processing is widely adopted today for microfabrication because of its ability to make rapid processing on almost all types of materials in ambient environment. However, it is challenging to apply femtosecond lasers for high-speed large-scale subwavelength nanofabrication, particularly, for two-dimensional nanopatterning on transparent dielectric materials due to their low light absorption. Previous demonstrations of femtosecond laser two-dimensional nanofabrication on dielectrics typically lack structural quality and long-range uniformity. In this work, we report a maskless laser nano-lithographic technique to fabricate high-quality two-dimensional periodic nanodomes on glass. The glass sample is first coated with a thin copper film and then irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses. We show that the period and size of the nanodomes can be controlled using a multi-fluence process. More importantly, a single-fluence technique is developed here, for the first time, for high-quality nanopatterning on glass. The nanopatterning formation mechanism is studied by dynamics experiments and numerical simulations. This introduced technique will provide a simple but highly effective way for dielectrics nanofabrication.

Temperature Effect on Capillary Flow Dynamics in 1D Array of Open Nanotextured Microchannels Produced by Femtosecond Laser on Silicon
摘要： Capillary ?ow of water in an array of open nanotextured microgrooves fabricated by femtosecond laser processing of silicon is studied as a function of temperature using high-speed video recording. In a temperature range of 23–80°C, the produced wicking material provides extremely fast liquid ?ow with a maximum velocity of 37 cm/s in the initial spreading stage prior to visco-inertial regime. The capillary performance of the material enhances with increasing temperature in the inertial, visco-inertial, and partially in Washburn ?ow regimes. The classic universal Washburn’s regime is observed at all studied temperatures, giving the evidence of its universality at high temperatures as well. The obtained results are of great signi?cance for creating capillary materials for applications in cooling of electronics, energy harvesting, enhancing the critical heat ?ux of industrial boilers, and Maisotsenko cycle technologies.

Improvement of ablation capacity of sapphire by gold film-assisted femtosecond laser processing
摘要： Sapphire is widely used in civilian and military equipment owing to its superior optical and mechanical properties. Femtosecond laser has been demonstrated to be an effective tool to process sapphire material. However, the direct processing of sapphire by femtosecond laser still meets some challenges, such as poor ablation morphology and low laser energy absorption. In this work, femtosecond laser processing of sapphire coated with a 12-nm-thick gold film (Au-coated sapphire) has been investigated. The experimental results have revealed that the ablation morphology of Au-coated sapphire has been improved, featuring fewer molten materials and thermal cracks, as well as regular crater shape and uniform periodic surface structures. It has also been found that, under 100 shots condition, the threshold fluence of Au-coated sapphire is reduced by about 56% compared to that of uncoated one. Meanwhile, the incubation effect of Au-coated sapphire is stronger than that of uncoated one. We also illustrate that the material removal rate of Au-coated sapphire is increased up to about two times higher than that of uncoated one. In order to reveal the effective mechanism of the gold film in the laser processing of sapphire, the energy transfer process among incident photons, free electrons and sapphire lattice phonons was studied. Our study provides a guidance for improving the laser ablation capacity of sapphire.

Spectral absorption control of femtosecond laser-treated metals and application in solar-thermal devices
摘要： Direct femtosecond (fs) laser processing is a maskless fabrication technique that can effectively modify the optical, electrical, mechanical, and tribological properties of materials for a wide range of potential applications. However, the eventual implementation of fs-laser-treated surfaces in actual devices remains challenging because it is difficult to precisely control the surface properties. Previous studies of the morphological control of fs-laser-processed surfaces mostly focused on enhancing the uniformity of periodic microstructures. Here, guided by the plasmon hybridisation model, we control the morphology of surface nanostructures to obtain more control over spectral light absorption. We experimentally demonstrate spectral control of a variety of metals [copper (Cu), aluminium (Al), steel and tungsten (W)], resulting in the creation of broadband light absorbers and selective solar absorbers (SSAs). For the first time, we demonstrate that fs-laser-produced surfaces can be used as high-temperature SSAs. We show that a tungsten selective solar absorber (W-SSA) exhibits excellent performance as a high-temperature solar receiver. When integrated into a solar thermoelectric generation (TEG) device, W-SSA provides a 130% increase in solar TEG efficiency compared to untreated W, which is commonly used as an intrinsic selective light absorber.

Designing a??Supermetalphobica?? Surfaces that Greatly Repel Liquid Metal by Femtosecond Laser Processing: Does the Surface Chemistry or Microstructure Play a Crucial Role?
摘要： It is demonstrated that the wettability of liquid metal (LM) on a substrate is very different from the water wettability. Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic silicon and polydimethylsiloxane surfaces, respectively, are obtained by femtosecond laser processing and proper chemical modification. All of the structured surfaces have excellent LM repellence, that is, supermetalphobicity, in spite of superhydrophobicity or superhydrophilicity. The experimental comparison and contact model analysis reveal that surface microstructure actually plays a crucial role in endowing a surface with supermetalphobicity while surface chemistry has a little influence on the formation of supermetalphobicity, because the liquid/solid contact is replaced by a solid/solid contact mode for a LM droplet on a textured substrate. It is believed that the established principle for creating supermetalphobic surfaces will enable to accelerate the application progress of LM materials in flexible circuits and liquid robots.

Three-Dimensional Laser-Assisted Patterning of Blue-Emissive Metal Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals inside a Glass with Switchable Photoluminescence
摘要： The high-precision patterning of metal halide perovskites (MHPs) is of paramount importance for their device application. Here, we demonstrate the femtosecond (fs)-laser-assisted formation of three-dimensional MHP nanocrystal (NC) patterns with strong blue photoluminescence (PL) inside an oxide glass. Our strategy enables the crystallization and erasing of CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs inside a glass localized around the laser focal area through a combination of fs laser irradiation and thermal treatment processes. These recoverable patterns exhibit a switchable PL associated with the laser-induced defect and the thermal healing of MHP NCs that are benefits from the soft ionic crystal structure and low formation energy of the MHPs. Due to the high stability offered by the protection of the oxide glass matrix, the laser printing of fine-structured MHP micropatterns can be repeated over multiple cycles with a high robustness compared with their colloidal process counterparts. Our results demonstrate a simple strategy for creating emissive patterns inside a stable and transparent solid matrix that could be promising for applications including information storage, three-dimensional displays, anticounterfeit labels, and information security protection.
