Abstract
Tuneable shapes and uniformity of the laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) attract interest because of their diverse applications in both scientific research and technological advancements. In this work, we investigate the progression of regular one-dimensional (1D) LIPSS on a tungsten surface, examining its evolution based on the time delay between two laser pulses that initiate the formation of nanoripples. 1D-LIPSS were formed in the case of single-beam laser ablation with approximately 84 laser pulses. Two-dimensional (2D) LIPSS, including triangle, hexagonal, and square shapes, were generated by employing two cross-polarized laser beams (with wavelengths of 1030 nm and pulse durations of 40 fs) with no delay between the pulses. However, introducing a time delay of 2 picoseconds (ps) between the two cross-polarized laser pulses resulted in the division of the initially cross-oriented 2D-LIPSS into square-shaped structures, particularly along the spatially overlapped region of the laser beams. The emergence of triangle- and hexagonal-shaped two-dimensional laser-induced periodic surface structures (2D-LIPSS) is analyzed within the framework of a self-organization model, particularly in the context of solidifying the molten layer under cold temperature conditions on the tungsten surface. We examine the formation mechanism of LIPSS, attributing it to a combination of the self-organization/hydrodynamic mechanism initially, which transitions to the electromagnetic mechanism as the effective number of pulses increases.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
