The mechanism of ultrashort pulsed laser ablation of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. The simulation model provides a detailed atomic-level description of the laser energy deposition to PCD specimens and is verified by an experiment using 300 fs laser irradiation of a PCD sample. It is found that grain boundaries play an important role in the laser ablation. Melting starts from the grain boundaries since the atoms in these regions have higher potential energy and are melted more easily than the perfect diamond. Non-homogeneous melting then takes place at these places, and the inner crystal grains melt more easily in liquid surroundings presented by the melting grain boundaries. Moreover, the interplay of the two processes, photomechanical spallation and evaporation, are found to account for material removal in ultrashort pulsed laser ablation of PCD.

AbstractGrain boundaries in YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin films deposited on (001)-MgO by pulsed laser ablation have been characterized using selected area diffraction. In addition to twin boundaries, the presence of both low-angle and high-angle grain boundaries were characteristic of the film's microstructure. The presence of certain grain boundaries may be responsible for the weak-link Josephson behavior observed in small constrictions formed in superconducting films on MgO.

Pulsed-laser ablation has been widely used to produce high-quality thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ on a range of substrate materials. The nonequilibrium nature of the process allows congruent deposition of oxides with complex stoichiometrics. In the high power density regime produced by the UV excimer lasers the ablated species includes a mixture of neutral atoms, molecules and ions. All these species play an important role in thin-film deposition. However, changes in the deposition parameters have been shown to affect the microstructure of thin YBa2Cu3O7-δ films. The formation of metastable configurations is possible because at the low substrate temperatures used, only shortrange rearrangement on the substrate surface can occur. The parameters associated directly with the laser ablation process, those determining the nature of the process, e g. thermal or nonthermal volatilization, have been classified as ‘primary parameters'. Other parameters may also affect the microstructure of the thin film. In this paper, the effects of these ‘secondary parameters' on the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-δ films will be discussed. Examples of 'secondary parameters' include the substrate temperature and the oxygen partial pressure during deposition.

While doping is crucial for numerous technological applications, its control remains difficult especially when the material is reduced down to the nanometric scale. We suggest a new way to dope nanoparticles using laser ablation in liquids.
