Wettability and Color Change of Copper by Controlling Area Fraction of Laser Ablated Surface
Mantas Gaidys, Stella Maragkaki, Alexandros Mimidis +6
In this research, wettability control by area fraction of laser ablated surface of copper is presented. The functional surfaces with full wettability control from highly hydrophili…
Strong europium luminescence in lanthan-euripium-erbium-calcium-vanadate nanocrystals, the result of codoping optimization
O. Chukova, S. A. Nedilko, S. G. Nedilko +6
Co-doped with calcium, europium and erbium ions lanthanum vanadate crystalline nanoparticles are synthesized and investigated with a goal to clarify the mechanisms of calcium and e…
Laser engineering of biomimetic surfaces
E. Stratakis, J. Bonse, J. Heitz +12
The exciting properties of micro- and nano-patterned surfaces found in natural species hide a virtually endless potential of technological ideas, opening new opportunities for inno…
Pulsed laser deposition of the doped lanthanum vanadate nanoparticles on glass and silicon substrates
O. Chukova, S. A. Nedilko, S. G. Nedilko +6
Thin films from the lanthanum vanadate nanoparticles were successfully grown by pulsed laser deposition method on glass and silicon substrates for the first time. Morphology and th…
Structure and spectroscopy characterization of LaSmVO4 luminescent nanoparticles synthesized co-precipitation and sol-gel methods
O. V. Chukova, S. A. Nedilko, S. G. Nedilko +4
The Sm-activated orthvanadate nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation and sol-gel methods. XRD study has shown that synthesized samples are characterized by monoclinic o…
Biomimetic Omnidirectional Anti-reflective Glass via Direct Ultrafast Laser Nanostructuring
Antonis Papadopoulos, Evangelos Skoulas, Alexandros Mimidis +4
We report on a single-step, biomimetic approach for the realization of omnidirectional transparent antireflective glass. In particular, it is shown that circularly polarized ultras…
Formation of periodic surface structures on dielectrics after irradiation with laser beams of spatially variant polarisation: a comparative study
Antonis Papadopoulos, Evangelos Skoulas, George D. Tsibidis +1
A comparative study is performed to explore the periodic structure formation upon intense femtosecond pulsed irradiation of dielectrics with radially and azimuthally polarised beam…
Convection roll-driven generation of supra-wavelength periodic surface structures on dielectrics upon irradiation with femtosecond pulsed lasers
George D. Tsibidis, Evangelos Skoulas, Antonis Papadopoulos +1
The significance of the magnitude of Prandtl number of a fluid in the propagation direction of induced convection rolls is elucidated. Specifically, we report on the physical mecha…
