Article Synopsis
- The study compares how irradiation affects both films and substrates, utilizing techniques like atomic force and scanning electron microscopy.
- It highlights that for substrates, energy buildup at the film-substrate interface leads to a photomechanical lift-off effect, and edges of the ablated zone create burrs that can be minimized.
- A process window for effective substrate irradiation was established, showing optimal energy levels that align with existing literature and deepens the understanding of transparent conductive films' ablation mechanisms.*
Pulsed laser fragmentation of microparticles (MPs) in liquid is a synthesis method for producing high-purity nanoparticles (NPs) from virtually any material. Compared with laser ablation in liquids (LAL), the use of MPs enables a fully continuous, single-step synthesis of colloidal NPs. Although having been employed in several studies, neither the fragmentation mechanism nor the efficiency or scalability have been described.

We are able to observe photomechanical spallation at delay times of hundreds of picoseconds, which plays a stronger role near the ablation threshold of 0.17 J/cm.
