The silicon surface was modified in a single-pulse mode with femto-picosecond laser pulses (0.3 and 10 ps) in the near-IR range (1030 nm) during ablation in air and water. The resulting structures were studied using Raman microscopy. In the course of the study, it was found that nanocrystallites with a size of 7-8 nm appear at the crater boundary. Local mechanical stresses were found in the center of the crater, the sign of which depends on the applied energy density. The highest local compressive stresses arise in water in the subfilamentation mode at maximum energy densities. Keywords: silicon, Raman spectroscopy, ultrashort pulses, single-pulse ablation in air and liquid, local stresses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
