We present an overview of the different processes that can result from focusing an ultrafast
laser light in the femtosecond–nanosecond time regime on a host of materials, eg, metals …

The study of tin oxide is motivated by its applications as a solid state gas sensor material,
oxidation catalyst, and transparent conductor. This review describes the physical and …

Laser ablation of dielectrics by ultrashort laser pulses is reviewed. The basic interaction
between ultrashort light pulses and the dielectric material is described, and different …

The continuous evolution of nanotechnology in these years led to the production of quasi-
one dimensional (Q1D) structures in a variety of morphologies such as nanowires, core …

Wide bandgap oxide semiconductors with controllable sizes are an interesting class of
