Removing Ag NP involves a scanning ablation process, in which laser beams are irradiated on spots irradiated by a previous laser beam. In this study, that the heat-affected zone (HAZ), which is the peripheral area of the ablation crater where NPs are not ablated but are affected by heat, greatly influences the ablation aspects. Ablation failure was observed in short laser beam displacements, where the irradiated laser energy per unit length increased. Additional experimental investigation and thermal analysis concluded that property variations, such as increased reflectivity and thermal conductivity, suppressed the temperature increase and made it more difficult for the HAZ and nearby Ag NP to be ablated. Moreover, the ablated lines formed by a higher laser beam fluence and shorter laser beam displacement were not as ablated as the lines formed with a relatively lower laser beam fluence and longer laser beam displacement. Through detailed analysis, we deduced that the local fluence of the second laser beam irradiated on the HAZ was a more critical parameter than the peak fluence of the laser beam. We suggest that in the case of a Gaussian laser beam, the laser beam displacement should be equal to the radius of the ablation crater and HAZ to maximize the local fluence irradiated on the HAZ and minimize the adverse effects of the HAZ. The results can provide a guideline for future manufacturers to perform Ag NP layer ablation while considering the influence of the HAZ.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11037,"journal":{"name":"Current Applied Physics","volume":"72 ","pages":"Pages 65-77"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143403542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the extensive use of metal oxide thin films across these fields, the current work reports the successful synthesis of nanocrystalline Sr-doped NiO films using an eco-friendly spray pyrolysis technique for the photocatalytic degradation of Bromophenol Blue pollutant in wastewater treatment. These films were characterized by XRD, Raman, FTIR, FESEM, UV–Vis, and PL techniques. XRD analysis reveals that the crystallite size decreases from 14 nm to 9 nm as the dopant concentration increases. FTIR and Raman analyses identified surface oxygen interstitials and Ni defect-related vibrations. FESEM showed a continuous surface film with spherical polycrystalline morphology. An increase in optical transmittance and bandgap with the incorporation of Sr dopant was observed in the UV–Vis data. A decrease in PL intensity with increasing dopant concentration suggests a suppression of the recombination rate, as indicated by the PL analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the Sr-doped films was evaluated with Bromophenol Blue (BB) under UV–visible irradiation. The 6 % Sr-doped films successfully decomposed 81 % of the BB, demonstrating their effectiveness as catalysts. Additionally, these films exhibited a lower recombination rate, smaller particle size, and higher surface roughness. The 6 % Sr-doped sample showed the highest zones of inhibition, measuring 25 mm and 23 mm for <em>Aspergillus Niger</em> and <em>Penicillium</em> fungi, respectively.
