Metallic nanoparticles (NPs), as an efficient substrate for surface-enhanced Raman
scattering (SERS), attract much interests because of their various shapes and sizes. The …

Lasers provide the ability to accurately deliver large amounts of energy into confined regions
of a material in order to achieve a desired response. For opaque materials, this energy is …

A laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS), which can be easily produced by
femtosecond laser ablation, is a unique nanostructure with a visible refractive color that can …

The influence of the pulse repetition rate on laser irradiation of silicon, in air, with
femtosecond laser pulses is experimentally investigated in the range 10 Hz–200 kHz. The …

Femtosecond laser synthesis and processing of colloids offer a platform for novel
nanomaterial synthesis and applications, advancing side by side with high-end material …

This work presents results on direct nanostructured film fabrication by pulsed laser
deposition (PLD) of gold in air at atmospheric pressure. Due to specific features of the laser …

Blue luminescent colloidal silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) were produced in a two-stage
process. In the first step, synthesis of Si-NCs was achieved by femtosecond pulsed laser …

The surface configuration evolvement of silicon with the increasing pulse number irradiated
by femtosecond laser has been studied. The ripples and nanoparticles are formed in the …

We have studied femtosecond ablation under sprayed thin water film and its influence and
benefits compared with ablation in the air atmosphere. These have been studied in case of …

In this work, we report an innovative pump-probe based experimental set up, to study the
melting, subsequent evaporation, plasma formation and re-deposition in a thin film coated …
