Abstract:Fine structures provide materials with various functionalities such as friction reduction and water repellency. A short-pulsed laser is a suitable method to effectively fabricate fine structures through self-organization, called as LIPSS (laser induced periodic structures). However, this method has difficulty in control of LIPSS since the principles and the phenomena have not been clarified completely. It has been reported that LIPSS follow debris on a material surface, hence, the short-pulsed laser assisted b… Show more
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.
