研究目的
The experimental study of surface chemical composition modification in the regime of periodical structures (ripples) formation on two-component materials: GaAs, CdTe, W0.5C and TiC.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the novel effect of nanoscale periodical modification of chemical composition on two-component material surfaces using multi-shot femtosecond laser irradiation. This effect, attributed to the interference of surface plasmon-polaritons and incident light leading to incongruent evaporation, offers promising applications in photodetectors, solar cells, and material surface property tuning.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific materials and laser parameters used, which may not be universally applicable to all two-component materials or different laser conditions. The mechanism's effectiveness may vary with material properties and laser settings.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed multi-shot femtosecond laser irradiation to induce periodical nanoscale ripples on the surfaces of two-component materials. The method leverages the interference of surface plasmon-polaritons with incident laser radiation to achieve inhomogeneous surface heating and incongruent material removal.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included stoichiometric GaAs(100), CdTe(100), non-stoichiometric W0.5C, and stoichiometric TiC, all with specified thicknesses and surface conditions.
3:5C, and stoichiometric TiC, all with specified thicknesses and surface conditions.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: A Ti:sapphire laser system (Avesta Project) for generating femtosecond laser pulses, a diffractive attenuator (Avesta Project), a calibrated photodetector DET-210 (Thorlab), BK-7 lenses, and a field-emission scanning electron microscope (SEM, JEOL 7001f) for surface visualization and chemical composition analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Laser pulses were delivered to sample surfaces through lenses into spots of specified sizes. Irradiation was performed in air atmosphere in a scanning mode with varying scan velocities. Surface visualization and chemical composition analysis were conducted post-irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Surface chemical composition was analyzed using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) integrated in the SEM facility.
