研究目的
To overcome the intrinsic material limitation of direct laser writing (DLW) by enabling the fabrication of micropatterns in non-photosensitive materials through a newly discovered rapid-assembly phenomenon of nanoparticles based on femtosecond laser multi-photon-reduction in solution.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a novel DLW process that overcomes the material limitation of traditional DLW by enabling the fabrication of micropatterns in non-photosensitive materials through the assembly of nanoparticles. This process promises to broaden the range of laser materials processing in various scientific and industrial fields.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need for further investigation into the assembly behaviors of nanoparticles, such as concentration dependence, and the optimization of laser writing conditions for different materials.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study utilized femtosecond laser pulses focused into solutions containing nanoparticles to induce multi-photon reduction and assembly of nanoparticles, enabling the writing of micropatterns on substrates.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Solutions containing TiO2, SiO2, and Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in AgNO3 solution were used. The nanoparticles' average diameters were 20 nm, 22 nm, and 110 nm, respectively.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Femtosecond fiber laser (HP-780, Menlosystems. Ltd.), objective lenses (N20X-PF, Nikon; UOI-PLACH40xLP, Wraymer, Inc.), scanning electron microscope (JSM-5510, JEOL Co., Japan), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (JSM-7600FA, JEOL Co., Japan), TEM (JEM-2100, JEOL Co., Japan), focused ion beam (JEM-9320, JEOL Co., Japan).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Laser pulses were focused on substrate surfaces in nanoparticle-dispersed solutions. Micropatterns were written by moving the laser focus using a computer-controlled three-axis stage system. The process was observed in real time with a CMOS camera system.
5:Data Analysis Methods
SEM-EDX analysis was used for elemental mapping and composition analysis. TEM was used for cross-sectional observation of the micropatterns.
