ABSTRACTIllumination of titanium thin films with an argon-ion laser has been used to fabricate nanometer scale features by localized oxidation. The laser induces a temperature gradient in the metal film, within which oxidation may occur. Due to the non-linearity of the reaction with temperature, the reaction zone can be laterally confined to regions narrower than the diffraction limit of optical resolution. Scanning probe microscopy indicates widths ranging from 105 to 600 nm and heights of 0.8 to 30 nm. The possibility of forming novel structures is demonstrated.

Different Thickness

Semi-spherical and irregular Pd nanoparticles and voids are fabricated on sapphire(0001) by the solid-state dewetting of sputter-deposited Pd thin films at different thickness and temperature. The structural evolution, surface morphology transformation and optical properties of Pd nanostructures are probed.
