The effect of laser wavelength on single-wall carbon nanotubes synthesis yield and their properties was studied. A double-pulse Nd:YAG laser, working at a 355 or 1064 nm, used for production. synthesized (CNTs) were investigated using the SEM/STEM microscopy Raman spectroscopy. results show that useful range UV radiation fluence is narrower CNTs depend much more than in case infrared radiation.
The ablation of graphite is studied as a function laser fluence for 355, 532 and 1,064 nm wavelength generated by nanosecond Nd:YAG laser. It has been found that in the case lower wavelengths, transition from thermal to phase explosion takes place at fluences. change crater shape due effect deep drilling proximity threshold was observed. calculations plasma radiation flux target surface were made, considerable increase absorbed energy density 355 wavelength.
The results of synthesis the fluorescent carbon dots (CDots) from graphite target and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoparticles performed by nanosecond laser ablation in polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG200) are shown. Two-step irradiation (first target, next achieved suspension) revealed a very effective production CDots. However, PEG appeared to be with 1064 nm pulse contrast 355 pulse. In case rGO similar procedure was less efficient. both cases, received exhibited strong, broadband...
In this work, (W,Ti)B2 films with different stoichiometric ratio Ti/W deposited on silicon and 304 stainless steel by radio frequency magnetron sputtering are presented. The coatings were from plasma spark sintered targets obtained the mixture of pure boron, tungsten titanium powders. It is shown that during sintering process using overstoichiometric boron a low content change WB2 to WB4 phase almost no secondary phases. Subsequently, impact properties investigated systematically, including...
In this paper, the effect of absorption laser beam and subsequent radiation on dynamics a tungsten plasma plume during pulsed ablation is analyzed. Different wavelengths are taken into consideration.

We present the deposition and characterization of tungsten-tantalum diboride (W,Ta)B2 coatings prepared by high-power impulse magnetron sputtering technique. evaluated influence pulse duration substrate bias on properties films. A high hardness up to 35 GPa measured nanoindentation was simultaneously obtained with good elastic properties. Changing greatly affected B/(W+Ta) atomic ratio, which influenced coatings. The deposited films are thermally stable at 1000 °C in vacuum able withstand...

We report fabrication of monolithic GaAs immersion lens with a sub-milimeter diameter for InAsSb infrared detectors. The microlenses were produced by thermal reflow process cylindrical photoresist structures, followed dry etching. implementation microlens leads to an increase in the optical area photodetector, while maintaining electrical dimensions. Detectors exhibit three times higher normalized detectivity D* than flat detectors, conserving similar level resistance and current...
