Laser Cleaning of Particles from Silicon Wafers: Capabilities and Mechanisms

Laser ablation in liquids: Applications in the synthesis of nanocrystals

“…[96,100,103,105], is demonstrated to be effectively removed from the surface of Au, Mo, Si, membranes, polyamide photorest films, polymers, etc., by steam laser cleaning. For instance, Leiderer and co-workers [136][137][138][139][140][141][142] have systemically studied the steam laser cleaning of micro-and submicron spherical particles from silicon wafer. Additionally, Garrison and co-workers [143] studied the laser-induced pressure wave propagation by a combined molecule dynamics and finite element method.…”

Band structure calculations of Ti2FeSn: A new half-metallic compound

“…Proposed by de Groot et al in 1983, [3] the half metallic ferromagnetism characterizes Heusler materials used nowadays for spin injection devices [4] which behave like semiconductor for one spin direction and like metal for the other spin direction, leading to a 100% spin polarization of electrons, at the Fermi level. Apart from spintronics, Heusler compounds with high spin polarization, high Curie temperature and simultaneously a low saturation magnetization are suitable for ultrahigh density magnetic memory storage devices [5].…”

Optical field enhancement effects on sapphire particles for different wavelengths and substrate media

“…Optimum efficiency for the experimental process necessitates a careful selection of wavelength for a specific particle size and refractive index. Numerous reports exist of the capabilities of KrF at λ = 248 nm [3,22] and femtosecond laser at λ = 800 nm and 100 fs specification [23,24]. These two wavelengths were considered in this work as comparisons for future experimental work.…”
