The laser wavelength, pulse duration, and fluence (energy density) significantly influence the ablation process and the resulting plasma plume. Shorter wavelengths and higher fluences generally lead ...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was first reported in 1965 to investigate the deposition of thin films of a variety of materials including semiconductors, dielectrics, organometallics and chalcogenides.

Laserapatite coatings can be applied in 1–3-µm layers. In implant procedures, malfunctioning porous coatings can pose serious problems to both patients and devices. Erothitan Titanimplantate AG ...

Schematic of conventional lab-scale, static PLD facility and epitaxial growth of REBCO (upper panel), schematics of flat-plate and cylinder-type PLD and corresponding growth rate distribution over the ...

While not impossible, replicating the machines and processes of a modern semiconductor fab is a pretty steep climb for the home gamer. Sure, we’ve seen it done, but nanoscale photolithography is a ...

Laser ablation is a process that uses high-energy laser pulses to precisely remove or vaporize materials from a solid surface. When the laser beam focuses on the target material, it absorbs the laser ...

The major factors affecting the performance of crystalline thin films are the presence of grain boundaries and inherent crystal structure. Post-deposition annealing is frequently employed to improve ...
