AbstractIn this paper we investigate the carriers mobility enhancement of the n- and p-channel single-grain silicon thin-film transistors (SG-TFTs) by μ-Czochralski process at low-temperature process (< 350 °C). The high laser energy density nearby the ablation phenomenon that completely melts the silicon layer during the crystallization is responsible for high tensile strain and good crystal quality of the silicon grains, which lead carriers mobility enhancement.

Supercontinuum spectrum generation by femtosecond laser pulses propagating in transparent liquids with different band gap thresholds is investigated. As the laser energy increases, the laser spectrum is strongly broadened and modulated, and finally a supercontinuum spectrum can be observed. The spectral broadening can be mainly attributed to the optical Kerr effect at low laser energy and the plasma created by the multiphoton excitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band at high laser energy. It is found that the spectral broadening and modulation strongly depend on the band gap threshold E gap of the medium.

The effects of laser energy and atmosphere on the emission characteristics of laser-induced plasmas were studied with the use of a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser over a laser energy range of 20 to 95 mJ. Argon, helium, and air were used as surrounding atmospheres, and the pressures were changed from atmospheric pressure to 1 Torr. The experimental results showed that the maximum spectral intensity was obtained in argon at around 200 Torr at a high laser energy of 95 mJ, whereas the line-to-background ratio was maximized in helium at around 40 Torr at a low energy of 20 mJ. The results are discussed briefly on the basis of the temporal and spatial observations of the laser-induced plasmas.

Deutered polyethylene (CD2)n thin and thick targets were irradiated in high vacuum by infrared laser pulses at 1015W/cm2 intensity. The high laser energy transferred to the polymer generates plasma, expanding in vacuum at supersonic velocity, accelerating hydrogen and carbon ions. Deuterium ions at kinetic energies above 4 MeV have been measured by using ion collectors and SiC detectors in time-of-flight configuration. At these energies the deuterium–deuterium collisions may induce over threshold fusion effects, in agreement with the high D-D cross-section valuesaround 3 MeV energy. At the first instants of the plasma generation, during which high temperature, density and ionacceleration occur, the D-D fusions occur as confirmed by the detection of mono-energetic protonsand neutrons with a kinetic energy of 3.0 MeV and 2.5 MeV, respectively, produced by the nuclear reaction. The number of fusion events depends strongly on the experimental set-up, i.e. on the laser parameters (intensity, wavelength, focal spot dimension), target conditions (thickness, chemical composition, absorption coefficient, presence of secondary targets) and used geometry (incidence angle, laser spot, secondary target positions).A number of D-D fusion events of the order of 106÷7 per laser shot has been measured.
