Abstract:We have irradiated CuCl films, which are prepared by a vacuum vapor deposition method, with picosecond light pulses of 82 MHz repetition rate at the photon energy of 3.290 eV. After a long time of photo-irradiation, the photo-irradiated region is recognized by eye for thin films. We observe the surface morphology by atomic force microscopy at room temperature. For a 50 nm thick film, surface structure changes such as surface smoothing, nanometer-scale and micrometer-scale structures formation are observed, whi… Show more
