Thickness-dependent spontaneous dewetting morphology of ultrathin Ag films
H. Krishna, R. Sachan, J. Strader +3
We show here that the morphological pathway of spontaneous dewetting of ultrathin Ag films on SiO2 under nanosecond laser melting is found to be film thickness dependent. For films…
Design and optimization of plasmonic-based metal-dielectric nanocomposite materials for energy applications
J. Trice, C. Favazza, H. Garcia +2
Metallic nanoparticles embedded in dielectrics permit enhanced capture of light at specific wavelengths through excitation of plasmons, i.e. the quanta of coherent and collective o…
Self-organized metal nanostructures through laser driven thermocapillary convection
C. Favazza, J. Trice, R. Kalyanaraman +1
When ultrathin metal films are subjected to multiple cycles of rapid melting and resolidification by a ns pulsed laser, spatially correlated interfacial nanostructures can result f…
Dynamics of ultrathin metal films on amorphous substrates
Christopher Favazza, Ramki Kalyanaraman, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar
A mathematical model is developed to analyze the growth/decay rate of surface perturbations of an ultrathin metal film on an amorphous substrate (SiO_{2}). The formulation combines…
Robust nanopatterning by laser-induced dewetting of metal nanofilms
Christopher Favazza, Ramki Kalyanaraman, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar
We have observed nanopattern formation with robust and controllable spatial ordering by laser-induced dewetting in nanoscopic metal films. Pattern evolution in Co film of thickness…
Investigation of pulsed laser induced dewetting in nanoscopic metal films
Justin Trice, Dennis Thomas, Christopher Favazza +2
Hydrodynamic pattern formation (PF) and dewetting resulting from pulsed laser induced melting of nanoscopic metal films have been used to create spatially ordered metal nanoparticl…
