Photoluminescence of Eu-doped LiYF₄thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation

Deposition of Silver Nanoparticles on Silicone hydrogels by Using Laser-Assisted Process

“…Compared to chemical coating process, physical methods could avoid the damage of silicone hydrogel caused by chemical agents [18]. Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) is a thin film deposition technique derived from Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) [19] which helps in deposition of soft materials (polymers, biological materials) without damaging its structure. PLD is one of the most successful ways to deposit high quality thin films, but it is not effective in case of depositing delicate materials.…”

Deposition of YBCO Nanoparticles on Graphene Using Matrix-assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation

“…MAPLE provides a more gentle and protective method to deposit nanoparticles, biomaterial and polymer on the substrate. [9] The target material is normally dissolved or suspended in a volatile solvent, which is then frozen by liquid nitrogen. The frozen solution (target) is irradiated by a pulsed laser.…”

Synthesis of a NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion film on a silicon substrate and its tribological behavior

“…A sol-gel method and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are the most commonly reported methods used to synthesize UC lms. [11][12][13] However, the sol-gel method requires post-deposition heat treatment, which may induce reactions between the phosphors and the gel, leading to the luminescence properties of the prepared lm being uncontrollable. Although PLD can fabricate lms with good optical properties, it is a relatively expensive and complex technique.…”
