To obtain a supported heterogeneous catalyst, laser ablation of metallic palladium in supercritical carbon dioxide was performed in the presence of a carrier, microparticles of γ-alumina. The influence of the ablation process conditions—including supercritical fluid density, ablation, mixing time of the mixture, and laser wavelength—on the completeness and efficiency of the deposition of palladium particles on the surface of the carrier was studied. The obtained composites were investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy using energy dispersive spectroscopy. We found that palladium particles were nanosized and had a narrow size distribution (2–8 nm). The synthesized composites revealed high activity as catalysts in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene.

Summary The effect on glue joint strength of removing the layer of cells on end-grain surfaces of wood damaged by machining—the mechanical weak boundary layer (MWBL)—is presented. The wood surfaces have been laser ablated using different types of lasers of different wavelengths. The goal has been to determine whether or not the strength of end-grain glue joints is influenced by the MWBL and to show how the laser wavelength affects the glue joint strength. All tests were carried out with a PVAc-glue with hardener, and two different glue pressures were used. The joints were tested by bending notched and fatigued specimens. The statistical evaluation of the results shows that one laser gave a significantly higher glue joint strength than the others. One main conclusion is that the glue joint strength could have been improved with a stronger glue. An ESEM-analysis showed that fracture occurred primarily in the glueline and not in the boundary layer.

In the present work, bismuth-based nanoparticles of various compositions were obtained by pulsed laser ablation of a metallic bismuth target in water and air using a Q-switch Nd:YAG laser (wavelength of 1064 nm, pulse duration of 7 ns, frequency of 20 Hz, and pulse energy of 160 mJ). Then the samples were annealed in air at temperatures up to 600°C. A comparative analysis of the obtained powders was carried out using methods of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, specific surface area measurements, IR-Fourier and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized materials in the process of Rhodamine B decomposition under irradiation of a LED source (375 nm) was also studied.

ABSTRACTLaser ablation has been used to produce piezoelectric films for use in a low voltage cantilever bimorph actuator structure. Nd doped lead zirconium titanate (PZT) films were deposited by a pulsed Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm) on to unheated silver-coated oxidised silicon substrates at a distance of 30 mm between substrate and target. Growth rates were typically 20 Å/s. The as-deposited PZT films were amorphous but contained small microcrystalline pyrochlore and perovskite regions. Optimisation of the annealing conditions resulted in perovskite as the main phase (T=750°C, t=2 h). A special fabrication technique (PbO covered PZT) was used to minimise film defects mainly caused by large particles.In order to improve the density of the film and deposition rates of the ablated PZT film, ablations using an XeCl excimer laser (wavelength 308 nm) under the influence of a static magnetic field were also studied. The decreased particle size in the deposited films showed that the surface quality of the films fabricated by the excimer laser was better than that of films deposited by the Nd:YAG laser. Films were studied using EDS, XRD and also micro-Raman spectrometry.Bimorph cantilever element structures were realised using Nd:YAG laser ablation. DC bending characteristics of these low voltage cantilever bimorphs were measured as a function of voltage using a Michelson interferometer. Displacements in the order of microns were obtained from a 15 mm x 4 mm x 80 �ement with a driving voltage level of 10 V.

Ionization Methods

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is one of the most successful “soft” ionization methods in the field of mass spectrometry and enables the analysis of a broad range of molecules, including lipids. Although the details of the ionization process are still unknown, the importance of the matrix is commonly accepted. Both, the development of and the search for useful matrices was, and still is, an empirical process, since properties like vacuum stability, high absorption at the laser wavelength, etc. have to be fulfilled by a compound to become a useful matrix. This review provides a survey of successfully used MALDI matrices for the lipid analyses of complex biological samples. The advantages and drawbacks of the established organic matrix molecules (cinnamic or benzoic acid derivatives), liquid crystalline matrices, and mixtures of common matrices will be discussed. Furthermore, we will deal with nanocrystalline matrices, which are most suitable to analyze small molecules, such as free fatty acids. It will be shown that the analysis of mixtures and the quantitative analysis of small molecules can be easily performed if the matrix is carefully selected. Finally, some basic principles of how useful matrix compounds can be “designed” de novo will be introduced.

Laser ablation of deposited silver colloids, active in SERS, is carried out at three different laser wavelengths (KrF, XeCl and Nd:YAG at λ = 248, 308 and 532 nm respectively). Emission form excited neutral Ag and Na atoms, present in the ablation plume, is detected with spectral and temporal resolution. The expansion velocity of Ag in the plume is estimated in ~1×104m s−1. Low-fluence laser ablation of the colloids yields ionized species that are analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. Na+ and Agn+(n≤3) are observed. Composition of the mass spectra and widths of the mass peaks are found to be dependent on laser wavelength, suggesting that the dominant ablation mechanisms are different at the different wavelenghts.
