Different analyses, including the study of surface morphology, free energy, roughness changes, phase composition, and surface chemistry are evaluated in relation to the wettability control of TiNi alloy. The results reveal a remarkable enhancement in hydrophilicity, evidenced by a sharp decrease in the water contact angle from 75.0 ± 5.1° to 11.4 ± 5.1°. This wettability improvement is positively correlated with the increased laser fluence and the number of laser pulses. The main contribution to the wettability alterations after laser treatment belongs to the surface saturation with oxygen and a subsequent formation of an oxide layer. This oxide layer significantly increases the polar component of the surface energy, thereby enhancing the hydrophilic properties of the TiNi alloy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":770,"journal":{"name":"Russian Physics Journal","volume":"67 10","pages":"1575 - 1582"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108716","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}

Based on the thermodynamic analogy of the solution states and the condensed physical system state, the feasibility of realization of low-stability states is demonstrated. An analysis of representations about thermodynamic and structural-phase states of water and estimations of the structure of aqueous solutions at ultrahigh dilution allow us to assume reasonably the feasibility of realization of low-stability structurally-phase states of aqueous solutions at ultrahigh dilution when the system goes into a new structural state under an external impact (mechanical shaking). Moreover, the external impact can be sufficiently small, but the structural system state can change quite significantly. It is discussed how the state of a suitable symmetric liquid solution of a substance, for which the effect of small impact of the external force in different forms (for example, shaking) is important, can be obtained experimentally. This approach allows the role of Epstein’s effect in shaking of chemical solutions to be estimated by mechanochemical methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":770,"journal":{"name":"Russian Physics Journal","volume":"67 10","pages":"1743 - 1749"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108366","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}
