Micro- and nanostructuring of metal surfaces with polarized femtosecond laser pulses
Journal Title: Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Under irradiation of the surface of metals with femtosecond laser pulses, periodic surface micro- and nanostructures have been obtained. The dependence of orientation inherent to formed structures on direction of the electric field related with the incident electromagnetic wave and type of polarization of this wave has been studied. Typically these laser-induced structures are perpendicular to the electric field of incident light and have period shorter than the laser wavelength. The structures oriented in parallel to the polarization vector with a longer period have been also revealed. The dependence of surface structure formation on the initial surface defects in metal has been found.

Design and characterization of nanostructured SERS substrates based on gold nanostars
Using the method of chemical synthesis, effective SERS substrates were developed, which were the films of gold nanoparticles possessing the form of stars. The peculiarity of star-shaped nanoparticles is that they could e...
1/f noise and carrier transport mechanisms in InSb p + -n junctions
The dark current and 1/f noise spectra have been investigated in p + -n InSb junctions. The photodiodes were prepared by Cd diffusion into single crystal substrates. The current-voltage characteristics have been explaine...
Nanostructuring the SiOx layers by using laser-induced self-organization
The processes of laser-induced transformation of SiOx oxide layers into the nanocomposite ones were studied. The possibility of phase separation in the form of Si nanocrystals surrounded by corresponding SiO2 oxide matri...
