Abstract:
Provided are laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) devices. Embodiments of the devices are configured to obtain a spatial resolution of 10 μm or less. Also provided are methods of using the subject LIBS devices to determine whether one or more elements of interest are present in a target sample. The devices and methods find use in a variety of applications, e.g., submicron and nanoscale chemical analysis applications.
Abstract:
A method for patterning crystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) using femtosecond laser is disclosed, which comprises steps of: (a) providing a substrate with an amorphous ITO layer thereon; (b) transferring the amorphous ITO layer in a predetermined area into a crystalline ITO layer by emitting a femtosecond laser beam to the amorphous ITO layer in the predetermined area; and (c) removing the amorphous ITO layer on the substrate using an etching solution.
Abstract:
Methods of producing a nanostructure in a target film are provided. The method includes selectively irradiating at least one focusing element of a near-field focusing array that is in near-field focusing relationship with a target film in a manner sufficient to produce a nanostructure from the target film. Also provided are systems for practicing methods of the invention, as well as objects produced thereby.
Abstract:
A method for producing active glass nanoparticles that exhibit upconversion is described. The method employs pulsed-laser ablation of an active glass substrate using, for example, a high repetition rate ultra-short pulse duration laser under normal atmospheric conditions or in a liquid environment.
