    Abstract: A system for forming surface modified substrates includes a laser system, and a laser processing chamber. A laser scanner automatically controls a position of the laser beam or an x-y translating stage upon which the laser processing chamber is mounted thereon for scanning the laser beam relative to a substrate of material (M) having a bulk portion and an outer surface integrated with the bulk portion, and a coating including metal organic molecules including at least one metal X or particles of metal X on the outer surface. At laser-heated spots atoms of X from the metal coating diffuse into the outer surface to form a modified surface layer including both M and X. The modified surface layer has a thickness of 1 nm, and a 25° C. electrical conductivity ≥2.5% above or ≤2.5% below a 25° C. electrical conductivity in the bulk portion.

    Abstract: An MRI compatible medical device includes a non-magnetic metal alloy portion having a bulk portion including a first and a second metal. A surface of the metal alloy portion includes an integral MRI heating resistant surface structure having a thickness ≧3 nanometers. The non-magnetic metal alloy portion is structurally different from the bulk portion and includes a lamellar nanostructure or microstructure. The MRI heating resistant surface structure can include (i) a matrix phase including the first and second metal having nanometer or micron scale particles, precipitates and/or inclusions that differ in chemical composition and physical characteristics of the matrix phase and are discontinuously distributed therein; (ii) a level of crystallinity at least 5% less than the bulk portion; and/or (iii) metal atoms different from the first and second metal having a concentration profile evidencing diffusion into the metal alloy portion.
