Using electron microscopy and numerical modeling of the ionization process based on dynamical rate equations, we demonstrated that the transition to the mid-IR range significantly changes the mechanisms of plasma generation. In the near-IR range, photoionization (both multiphoton and tunneling) predominates, while the contribution of avalanche ionization becomes dominant for pulse durations exceeding 500 fs. Consequently, the smallest size of microstructures on the silicon surface during laser ablation is achieved for picosecond pulses, where the electron concentration in the generated plasma is low and laser beam defocusing is negligible. In contrast, in the mid-IR range, impact ionization becomes the dominant mechanism for increasing the electron density of the plasma, enabling high spatial resolution during the ablation process at the shortest pulse durations, as impact ionization proves to be more effective. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of laser radiation interaction with material surfaces and can be applied to optimize laser processing techniques in various fields.</p>","PeriodicalId":671,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques","volume":"18 1 supplement","pages":"S78 - S83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison of the results shows a clear advantage of the new synthesis method for the specified coating. For instance, the hardness of the (TiBSiNi + Cr)N coating synthesized using conventional assistance with a plasma source featuring a heated cathode is 29 GPa, whereas the coating synthesized using the beam-plasma generation pattern has a hardness of 39 GPa. Simultaneously, a reduced surface roughness is observed for the coating produced using the beam-plasma generation system, compared to the coating synthesized with conventional assistance. This is evident both in the average deviation of the surface profile <i>R</i><sub>a</sub> and in the parameter for the height of surface irregularities <i>R</i><sub><i>z</i></sub>. This difference is likely related to a greater uniformity and integral density of the gas-discharge plasma in the beam-plasma generation mode, and consequently, to the higher effectiveness of its impact on the deposited coating. A significant difference in the tribological properties of the coatings produced by the two assistance methods is also identified. The average values of the friction coefficient and the wear parameter for the coating synthesized using conventional assistance (0.504 and 1.42 × 10<sup>–7</sup> mm<sup>3</sup> N<sup>–1</sup> m<sup>–1</sup>, respectively) are higher than those for the coating synthesized through the beam-plasma generation scheme (0.434 and 0.99 × 10<sup>–7</sup> mm<sup>3</sup> N<sup>–1</sup> m<sup>–1</sup>).
