We found a coherent array of tungsten ultrafine particles of about 700 nm around a laser-irradiated mark on a single-crystalline surface of tungsten. The tungsten specimens were irradiated by a short-pulse Nd:YAG laser under low pressure in an inert gas atmosphere. Two types of coherent arrays were observed that included the two-dimensional cubic and hexagonal systems. Such a coherent array of ultrafine particles may have potential applications for emission devices of plasma display and microelectronic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
