Characterisation of AlN nano thin films prepared by PLD
摘要： Aluminium nitride (AlN) nano thin films have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in this paper. The microstructure and grain size of the nano thin films were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the PLD conditions such as laser fluence, ambient pressure and substrate temperature influence the thickness, morphology and grain size of the nano thin films obviously, i.e. the surface of the nano thin films becomes rough while the grain size increases with increasing the laser fluence, ambient pressure and substrate temperature. In addition, there exists a preferred orientation growth in the thin films.

Enhancement of osteoblast activity on nanostructured NiTi/hydroxyapatite coatings on additive manufactured NiTi metal implants by nanosecond pulsed laser sintering
摘要： Background: The osteoinductive behaviors of nitinol (NiTi)-based metal implants for bone regeneration are largely dependent on their surface composition and topology. Continuous-mode laser sintering often results in complete melting of the materials and aggregation of particles, which lack control of heat transfer, as well as microstructural changes during sintering of the nanocomposite materials. Methods: In the current study, in situ direct laser deposition was used to additively manufacture three-dimensional NiTi structures from Ni and Ti powders. The mechanical property of NiTi has been shown to be similar to bone. Nanosecond pulsed laser sintering process was then utilized to generate a nanoporous composite surface with NiTi alloy and hydroxyapatite (HA) by ultrafast laser heating and cooling of Ni, Ti, and HA nanoparticles mixtures precoated on the 3D NiTi substrates; HA was added in order to improve the biocompatibility of the alloy. We then studied the underlying mechanism in the formation of NiTi/HA nanocomposite, and the synergistic effect of the sintered HA component and the nanoporous topology of the composite coating. In addition, we examined the activity of bone-forming osteoblasts on the NiTi/HA surfaces. For this, osteoblast cell morphology and various biomarkers were examined to evaluate cellular activity and function. Results: We found that the nanoscale porosity delivered by nanosecond pulsed laser sintering and the HA component positively contributed to osteoblast differentiation, as indicated by an increase in the expression of collagen and alkaline phosphatase, both of which are necessary for osteoblast mineralization. In addition, we observed topological complexities which appeared to boost the activity of osteoblasts, including an increase in actin cytoskeletal structures and adhesion structures. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that the pulsed laser sintering method is an effective tool to generate biocompatible coatings in complex alloy-composite material systems with desired composition and topology. Our findings also provide a better understanding of the osteoinductive behavior of the sintered nanocomposite coatings for use in orthopedic and bone regeneration applications.

Pulsed laser deposition of BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ cathode for solid oxide fuel cells
摘要： We herein report a thin film deposition of perovskite BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ (BCFZY) by pulsed laser depositing (PLD) method for the use as a cathode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The BCFZY powder was first synthesized via sol-gel method and pelletized to use it as a target in PLD system. As a result, the PLD-deposited thin film showed nano-porous morphology, preferred nano-architecture for cathode in SOFCs, without generating or transforming to secondary phase. The applicability of the thin film BCFZY to SOFC cathode was even confirmed by fabricating an SOFC with BCFZY cathode and operating it at 500 °C, where stable open-circuit voltage of 1.13 V was measured for an hour.

The Growth Window of Ferroelectric Epitaxial Hf <sub/>0.5</sub> Zr <sub/>0.5</sub> O <sub/>2</sub> Thin Films
摘要： The metastable orthorhombic phase of hafnia is generally obtained in polycrystalline films, whereas in epitaxial films its formation has been much less investigated. We have grown Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films by pulsed laser deposition and the growth window (temperature and oxygen pressure during deposition, and film thickness) for epitaxial stabilization of the ferroelectric phase is mapped. The remnant ferroelectric polarization, up to around 24 μC/cm2, depends on the amount of orthorhombic phase and strain, and increases with temperature and pressure for fixed film thickness. Leakage current decreases by increasing thickness and temperature, and particularly by reducing oxygen pressure. The coercive electric field (EC) depends on thickness (t) according the EC - t-2/3 scaling, which is observed by the first time in ferroelectric hafnia, and the scaling extends to thickness below 5 nm. The proven ability to tailor functional properties of high quality epitaxial ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films paves the way towards progress in understanding their ferroelectric properties and prototyping devices.

Point-by-Point Femtosecond-Laser Inscription of 2-μm-Wavelength-Band FBG through Fiber Coating
摘要： We propose a point-by-point inscription method for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) fabrication using a femtosecond pulsed laser focused through a fiber polyimide coating, realizing a 2-μm-wavelength-band FBG. A femtosecond laser acts as the inscription laser, focused by a 63× oil lens. A first-order FBG was fabricated with a grating interval of 700 nm. The 15- μW pulsed laser was focused directly on the fiber core through the polyimide coating and cladding. A first-order FBG for 2004.8-nm light with more than 56% reflectances was fabricated. High wavelength sensitivity and linearity of the FBG were demonstrated by temperature and strain-sensing testing. The first-order FBG of 2004.8 and 2000.2 nm resonant wavelengths could be realized simultaneously through parallel inscription method in 3000μm long grating area.

Highly conductive two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of Al2O3/SrTiO3
摘要： We create a two-dimensional electron gas at the Al2O3/SrTiO3/LaAlO3 heterostructures using pulsed laser deposition, which exhibits a decreasing sheet resistance with increasing growth temperatures of Al2O3 films. Structural characterizations of films are confirmed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Compared with these heterostructures with Al2O3 films deposited on pristine SrTiO3 and TiO2-terminated SrTiO3 substrates, the Al2O3/SrTiO3/LaAlO3 heterostructures are more conductive. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates the formation of oxygen vacancies at the SrTiO3 side of the interface, which results from the redox reactions by reducing SrTiO3 films. Furthermore, the existence of oxygen vacancies on the SrTiO3 side is verified by a blue-light emission.

Oxygen concentration dependence of microstructure formed on Ni by backward pulsed laser deposition
摘要： In the automotive industry, direct joining between resin and metal without additional material is expected due to a growing need for hybrid structures composed of resin and metal. Roughening the metal surface before joining can improve the adhesion with the resin, and forming a microstructure on the metal surface by backward pulsed laser deposition could be a useful method. In the present study, we investigated the dependence of microstructure on the oxygen concentration in the ambient gas during surface processing for controlling the morphology of the microstructure. In the experiments, the oxygen concentration in the ambient gas composed of nitrogen and oxygen was controlled under atmospheric pressure, and microstructure characteristics, such as the shape and hardness, were analyzed. As a result, it was demonstrated that the formation range of the microstructure was constant regardless of the oxygen concentration, whereas a rougher microstructure was formed at higher oxygen concentrations, and a dense, flat microstructure was formed at lower oxygen concentrations. These results implied that the oxidation between the nanoparticles in the laser-induced plume and the ambient gas affects the mobility of the nanoparticles on the metal surface, leading to a transmutation in the morphology of the microstructure. Finally, it was shown that it is important to reduce the surface mobility of nanoparticles, such as processing under high oxygen concentration, to form a microstructure that improves adhesion.

Expansion of laser-induced plume after the passage of a counter shock wave through a background gas
摘要： Double-pulsed laser ablation with two targets and lasers in a background gas is a method to form nanoparticle complex. Effects of pulse delay between two lasers on plume expansion dynamics are discussed. The germanium and silicon targets were set parallel to each other and irradiated by two YAG lasers. The germanium target was irradiated followed by irradiation of the silicon target with delay time, td. We found that the expansion distance of delayed silicon plume is enhanced for 2 μs ≤ td ≤ 50 μs, compared to that when only the silicon target is irradiated. For td = 200 μs, the expansion distance of delayed silicon plume is similar to that when only the silicon target is irradiated. We discuss the expansion dynamics of the delayed silicon plume based on the effect of the density distribution induced by the primary germanium plume. Our results indicate that the effect of primary germanium plume remains up to about td = 50 μs, and it disappears by td = 200 μs.

Reduction of Radius of Curvature in Thin-Sheet-Metal Bending by Ultrashort-Pulsed Laser Peen Forming
摘要： Ultrashort-pulsed laser peen forming is a method of thin-sheet-metal forming using laser-induced shock waves. The authors have applied the process to microsheet parts bending, which is accomplished by repeating line scanning. However, when a severe curvature is requested, nonnegligible reduction of sheet thickness is induced by laser ablation. In order to restrict the thickness reduction, the authors attempted to improve the bending efficiency, which would allow a reduction in the number of necessary pulses. Scanning velocity and scanning pitch were changed, while the total irradiated pulse number was constant. The obtained results showed that a scanning velocity higher than the conventional one is favorable for improving the bending efficiency. In addition, smaller scanning pitches were adopted to reduce the radius of curvature. The influence of the scanning pitch on the bending efficiency was much weaker than that of scanning velocity. From the results of the evaluation of efficiency and scanned surface asperity, a scanning velocity of 20 mm·s-1 was judged to be the best. The best scanning condition achieved a 40% smaller radius of curvature than the conventional one.

Effects of background gases and pressure in pulsed laser deposition of Al-doped ZnO
摘要： Background gases (O2, He or Ar) with the pressure from ~ 10?3 Pa to 133.3 Pa are used in 355 nm laser deposition of Al-doped ZnO at room temperature. The effects of these gases and pressure on plasma formation are studied by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and time of flight (TOF) measurement. The OES results show that the emission intensity of the species in O2 and Ar decrease slightly and then increase exponentially above ~ 5 Pa. The emission intensity in Ar is the highest, followed by emission in O2 whilst the emission in He is low and weakly depend on background gas pressure. TOF measurements indicate that the ion velocity decrease with increasing O2 and Ar pressure at about 5–10 Pa. The ion velocity is highest in He while the ion velocities in O2 and Ar are similar. Thin-film samples deposited in different gas at 2.6 Pa are amorphous, but those deposited at 133.3 Pa are crystalline and exhibit different morphologies and optical properties depending on type of gas. Samples deposited in O2 are highly transparent but those deposited in He and Ar contain nano and micron-sized structures with <50% transmittance. In addition, Zn crystallites are detected by X-ray diffraction.
