Surface defects, including geometrical defects and accompanied chemical structure defects (CSDs), introduced by SPDT will significantly diminish laser damage resistance of KH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> optics. Current research primarily focuses on the geometrical features of surface defects and their laser-induced damage mechanisms. However, laser damage mainly occurs in the local tiny areas (e.g., brittle crack tip) of surface defects, indicating that CSDs (e.g., oxygen vacancies, lattice damage) at these areas violently absorb incident laser and cause laser damage. Therefore, accurately characterizing these CSDs is vital for assessing the laser performance of KH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> optics. A multi-modal characterization method combining Raman, infrared, and photoluminescence spectroscopy was developed in this study to reveal the atomic/molecular-scale structural features of the CSDs. Firstly, we conducted a statistical analysis of surface defects on KH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> optics processed by SPDT. These surface defects were classified into three categories (protrusion defects, brittle defects, and plastic scratches) based on their geometric features. Then, elemental analysis indicated that protrusion defects contained significantly higher oxygen content (about 5%) compared to the other defect types. Secondly, the lattice structure at the molecular scale was examined using combined Raman and infrared spectroscopy, revealing that plastic scratches caused negligible lattice damage, whereas the other two defect types led to substantial crystal lattice degradation. Finally, atomic-level point defects were characterized using optical fiber confocal fluorescence. The results showed significant variations in oxygen vacancy content among the three defect types, with this point defect serving as a critical indicator for identifying defect characteristics. This study established a multi-modal characterization methodology for SPDT-induced surface defects, offering technical support for high-performance manufacturing and performance enhancement of KDP optics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":247,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science","volume":"730 ","pages":"Article 166255"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146134581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the electrochemical impedance spectrum, Zn4Al0.5Cu exhibits inductive behavior, confirming enhanced micro-galvanic effects.

A critical challenge lies in harmonizing strong electromagnetic dissipation with optimal impedance matching at minimal thickness. This study introduces a paradigm of covalent interfacial engineering to address this challenge. A facile one-step hydrothermal strategy that concurrently etches Nb<sub>2</sub>AlC MAX phase and integrates hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet (BNNS) is reported, directly constructing a Nb<sub>2</sub>CT<sub>x</sub>/BNNS composite. This in-situ process fosters the formation of robust covalent bonds (B-O-Nb, C-N) at the heterointerface, creating a chemically bridged architecture. BNNS functions as a dielectric‑tuning unit and structural scaffold, forming a three‑dimensional ″intercalation‑barrier″ network with MXene. This architecture markedly improves impedance matching, induces pronounced interfacial polarization, and broadens the effective absorption bandwidth by exploiting multiple electromagnetic‑dissipation mechanisms. The optimized composite achieves a remarkable RL<sub>min</sub> of −57.92 dB at an ultrathin thickness of 1.26 mm, while also enhancing thermal‑dissipation efficiency and environmental stability, thereby integrating wave‑absorption performance with thermal‑management capability and ecological adaptability. The study underscores the pivotal role of interfacial engineering in the design of multifunctional materials. It offers novel design concepts and technical pathways for next‑generation microwave absorbers intended for harsh application environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":247,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science","volume":"730 ","pages":"Article 166236"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146129545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
