“…The first group of methods includes the so-called top-down approaches, which involves reducing the size of bulk materials to nanoscale through the use of mechanical processes and lithography. Among them can be distinguished mechanical alloying [ 79 ], high-energy ball milling [ 80 ], equal-channel angle pressing [ 81 ], high-pressure torsion [ 82 , 83 ], accumulative roll bonding [ 84 ], chemical etching [ 85 ], laser ablation [ 86 ], and various lithography techniques [ 87 , 88 , 89 ]. Top-down methods of synthesis of nanostructured materials allow us to produce ideal periodic structures without any defects and in a repeatable manner, but often require advanced and expensive equipment, e.g., ion beam, E-beam, X-ray, and interference lithographic techniques.…”

In the last few decades, the development and use of thin films and nanostructured materials to enhance physical and chemical properties of materials has been common practice in the field of materials science and engineering. The progress which has recently been made in tailoring the unique properties of thin films and nanostructured materials, such as a high surface area to volume ratio, surface charge, structure, anisotropic nature, and tunable functionalities, allow expanding the range of their possible applications from mechanical, structural, and protective coatings to electronics, energy storage systems, sensing, optoelectronics, catalysis, and biomedicine. Recent advances have also focused on the importance of electrochemistry in the fabrication and characterization of functional thin films and nanostructured materials, as well as various systems and devices based on these materials. Both cathodic and anodic processes are being extensively developed in order to elaborate new procedures and possibilities for the synthesis and characterization of thin films and nanostructured materials.

Nowadays, lasers are used in a wide variety of manufacturing processes, such as cutting, sintering and welding. The evolution of laser technologies has led to the creation of ultrashort pulsed lasers, with a pulse duration below 10 ps, which have the ability, on the contrary with the conventional lasers, to stimulate separately the electrons and the lattice. Thus, two different temperatures, the electron temperature and the lattice temperature appear. This cannot be described by the classical Fourier heat equations and thus the Two-Temperature Model (TTM) has been proposed. In the TTM, a heat equation that describes the electron temperature is conjugated with a heat equation that describes the lattice temperature. Except from the correct implementation of the heat equations, other factors that should be taken into consideration during the development of the TTM simulation are the correct and accurate modelling of the ultrashort pulsed laser and the appropriate selection of the computational method regarding the targets of each specific study. The aim of this review paper is not only to present the current literature regarding the different TTMs, ultrashort pulsed laser models and computational methods, but also to create mind maps that will help the researcher to choose the most appropriate TTM and computational method regarding the targets of each specific study. Moreover, in this review paper, recommendations for future work are given, regarding the more accurate and realistic modelling of the laser source.
