Ultrafast Laser Nanostructuring: The Pursuit of Extreme Scales

by Razvan Stoian (Editor), J rn Bonse (Editor)

Overview

Bringing together contributions from leading experts in the field, this book reviews laser processing concepts that allow the structuring of material beyond optical limits, and methods that facilitate direct observation of the underlying mechanisms by exploring direct structuring and self-organization phenomena. The capacity to nanostructure material using ultrafast lasers lays the groundwork for the next generation of flexible and precise material processing tools. Rapid access to scales of 100 nm and below in two and three dimensions becomes a factor of paramount importance to engineer materials and to design innovative functions. To reflect the dynamic nature of the field at all levels from basic science to applications, the book is divided into three parts, Fundamental Processes, Concepts of Extreme Nanostructuring, and Applications, each of which is comprehensively covered. This book will be a useful resource for graduate students and researchers in laser processing, materials engineering, and nanoscience.

About the Author

Razvan Stoian graduated in 1996 from the Bucharest University, Romania, and received his doctoral degree in 2000 from the Free University, Berlin, Germany. He was with the Ultrafast Laser Material-Processing Group at the Max-Born Institute, Berlin between 1997 and 2004, and joined the Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique France in 2004 where he is now Research Director. He is leading the Laser-Matter Interaction group at Laboratoire Hubert Curien in St. Etienne, France. He is equally scientific director of Manutech-USD, a technological platform for advanced laser processing for industry. His research interests include laser–matter interactions, ultrafast phenomena, beam engineering, and ultrafast laser material processing.

Jörn Bonse graduated from the University of Hannover in 1996, and received a doctoral degree in 2001 from the Technical University, Berlin, Germany. He was with the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH), the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, and the Max-Born-Institute (MBI) in Berlin. He was subsequently appointed as a Senior Laser Application Specialist at Newport’s Spectra-Physics Lasers Division in Stahnsdorf, Germany. Currently, he is a tenured scientist at the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin. His research interests include the fundamentals and applications of laser–matter interaction, surface functionalization, and laser-induced periodic nanostructures.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“The book, edited by two scientists working at the forefront of advanced laser processing of materials, Razvan Stoian and Jörn Bonse, provides a timely overview of the recent advances in the rapidly evolving field of material modification and imaging/probing at the limits of spatial and temporal resolution. The ability to achieve high spatial resolution in material modification usually relies on fast and highly localized energy deposition, which, unavoidably, creates the conditions of strong thermodynamic, electronic, and/or mechanical nonequilibrium. The progress in the experimental probing and theoretical/computational treatment of the transient nonequilibrium states of the matter is the key for gaining fundamental understanding of the material behavior far from the equilibrium and optimization of the conditions in the nanoscale material processing applications. The book brings together leading researchers involved in experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations in thegeneral area of material modification at the limits of spatial and temporal resolution. The three parts of the book are logically connected with each other and provide a well-balanced overview of the current state-of-the-art in laser material modification at the nanoscale.” (Prof. Leonid Zhigilei, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Virginia, USA)

“Ultrafast lasers are a revolution in the field of laser technology, evidenced by the Nobel Prize in Physics for Dr. Gérard Mourou and his collaborators. Nanoscience and nanotechnology have attracted tremendous attention from scientists and engineers since 2000. This book uniquely combines both fields which can serve many people who are working in either or both areas. This book was edited by a group of well-established researchers. The depth and breadth of their knowledge allow them to combine such a large pool of knowledge in a single book with a clear structure, from fundamental sciences to concepts of extreme nanostructuring and practical applications. This book collected topics which represent the state-of-the-art works in the most important areas of the field. It can give readers a full picture of what is happening in the field without the necessity of spending much time to search for the literature. It fits the needs of those both who are entering the research field or have worked in this field for a long time.” (Prof. Yongfeng Lu, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA)

Editorial Reviews

The editors of this book have succeeded admirably in bringing together the best work on materials processing at the nanometer scale. The sheer number of 1,245pages, organized in three volumes and illustrated with 586 figures, shows how comprehensive it has become. It is the right book at the right time … . This book is set to become the new standard reference for this field.” (Andreas Thoss, optica-opn.org, November 2, 2023)
