• Laser induced micro-cracking of Zr-based metallic glass using 10¹¹ W/m² nano-pulses

  Huang H., Qian Y., Wang C., Yan J.

  Materials Today Communications （Materials Today Communications)  25 2020.12

  　View Summary

  © 2020 Elsevier Ltd Low power nanosecond laser irradiation has potential applications in surface processing of metallic glasses (MGs). However, the response of MGs to a relatively low power intensity (1011 W/m2) has not been investigated. In this study, surface microstructures and characteristics of Zr-based MG after low power nanosecond laser irradiation were studied. Micro-cracks with depth in nanoscale and width in microscale were observed on the irradiated MG surface. The effects of laser parameters on the formation and evolution of micro-cracks were further investigated, and surface characteristics were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that under the peak laser power intensity of 2.3 × 1011 W/m2, when increasing the scanning speed from 1 to 5 mm/s, the maximum width of micro-cracks reduced from 3 μm to be less than 1 μm; further increasing to 10 mm/s, no micro-cracks appeared. When increasing the laser power intensity, the micro-groove structure would be formed with pileup around it and line cracks, open cracks and laser pulse tracks on it. During multi-line laser scanning, the pulse overlap rate also affected the formation and distribution of micro-cracks. At last, the formation mechanism of micro-cracks was discussed. These results would be meaningful for understanding the laser-MG interaction as well as guiding the selection of laser parameters for various applications.

  　View Summary

  © 2020, International Society for Nanomanufacturing and Tianjin University and Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. The use of submicron structures for structural coloration of surfaces has broad applications for color filters, projection displays, virtual reality, and anti-counterfeiting. Currently, structural color images lack high resolution due to low manufacturing accuracy. In this study, the axial-feed fly cutting (AFC) method is proposed to fabricate submicron grooves for the diffraction of visible light to create structural color images. We establish the relationship between the color information in the pixels of the original image and the parameters of the array units corresponding to the pixels. An algorithm to determine groove spacing and the tool path is established, and array units with the desired groove spacing are machined to reproduce the structural color images. The submicron grooves fabricated by AFC have high quality and good consistency. Due to the excellent diffraction performance of the machined grooves, images with high saturation and resolution can be reproduced. It is verified that images with various colors can be efficiently fabricated using the proposed method and algorithm.

• Generation of high-saturation two-level iridescent structures by vibration-assisted fly cutting

  ISSN  02641275

  　View Summary

  © 2020 The Authors The submicron-level structured surface induces viewing-angle-dependent iridescence, and has wide applications in multi-color printing, micro-display projection, invisibility cloak technology. In this study, several types of two-level structures, which consist of the first-order micro geometric features corresponding to the pattern shape and the second-order submicron grooves corresponding to the diffraction grating, are designed to directly induce a variety of iridescent patterns based on their shape regulations. To fabricate these two-level iridescent structures with high accuracy in a single step, vibration-assisted fly cutting (VAFC) is proposed. VAFC involves the low-frequency vibration of the workpiece in the vertical direction during the feed in the horizontal direction and the high-speed rotation of the diamond cutting tool. A 3D theoretical model is established for the numerical simulation of the generating process of the iridescent structures and the regulation of the first-order geometric feature by vibration parameters. As the key parameter to the iridescent color, the spacing of the second-order submicron grooves is flexibly controlled by the feed rate. A VAFC platform is developed to fabricate the two-level structures and an optical detection system is setup to test the surface iridescence. Various vivid colors are regulated by the two-level structures with high saturation and uniformity.

• Silicon nanoparticle generation and deposition on glass from waste silicon powder by nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation

  Momoki K., Manabe T., Li L., Yan J.

  Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing （Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing)  111 2020.06

  ISSN  13698001

  　View Summary

  © 2020 Elsevier Ltd Silicon nanoparticles can be used for fabricating electrodes in high-performance lithium ion batteries and other high value-added products. Currently, silicon nanoparticles are fabricated by pulsed laser irradiation of single-crystal silicon wafers in water. In this study, we proposed silicon nanoparticle generation by using a nanosecond pulsed laser to irradiate waste silicon powder which is disposed from wire-saw slicing processes of silicon ingots. The laser-induced nanoparticles were backward-transferred and deposited on a glass substrate. It was found that the morphology and amount of the deposited nanoparticles was strongly dependent on the distance between the glass substrate and the waste silicon powder target. Raman spectroscopy showed that the silicon nanoparticles were crystalline, and the average size was ~10 nm. The obtained silicon nanoparticles had high purity, as the diamond abrasives included in the waste silicon powder were removed through oxidation and vaporization during laser irradiation.

• Generating Nanodot Structures on Stainless-Steel Surfaces by Cross Scanning of a Picosecond Pulsed Laser

  ISSN  2520811X

  　View Summary

  © 2020, The Author(s). Ultrashort pulsed laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) can be generated on different kinds of materials, which are widely utilized for modifying surface properties such as wettability, adhesion, and tribological, as well as optical performances. Previous studies have focused mainly on one-dimensional LIPSS (i.e., line structure) generation. In this study, a picosecond pulsed laser was used to irradiate stainless-steel surfaces for generating two-dimensional LIPSS, namely nanodot structures, by cross-scanning the laser beam for a different number of times. The obtained nanodot structures were found to be super hydrophilic just after laser irradiation, but turned to be hydrophobic after exposure in air for a few days. By cross-scanning the laser beam for the same number of times, local LIPSS rewriting was realized. This study showed the possibility of improving the homogeneity of the surface properties of steel materials through laser-induced nanodot structuring.

  　View Summary

  The investigation of ultra-high temperature mechanical property of power semiconductors and heat-resistance ceramics is an important issue. Currently, the highest temperature used for nanoindentation tests is a few hundred degree. In this study, to realize ultra-high temperature nanoindentation up to 1200 degree, local heating method using a beam of laser was used to heat the samples. It was found that the nano-crystal diamond indenter was able to be used for the nanoindentation of ultra-hard materials like diamond, and by momentary local heating, the thermal deformation of the indentation system was suppressed.

  　View Summary

  Single-crystal silicon is required as the substrates for complex-shaped infrared lenses which are used widely in car night-vision systems, security systems, and thermography systems. However, when cutting silicon using a single-crystal diamond tool, the tool wear is extremely severe, which causes the degradation of form accuracy and the increase in production cost. In this research, an electrically conductive diamond tool was used to cut silicon under electrical voltage and light irradiation in electromagnetic fields. By inducing a small electrical current between the tool and the workpiece, the back-bond electron flow from diamond was suppressed, and the life of the diamond tool was extended.
