Enhancement of Surface Properties Using Ultrashort-Pulsed-Laser Texturing: A Review
Abstract: Surface texturing, which has recently garnered increased attention, involves modifying the surface texture of materials to enhance their tribology. Various methods have been developed for surface texturing. Laser surface texturing (LST) has attracted considerable interest because of its excellent texturing accuracy, controllability, and flexibility. It improves surface wettability properties and increases the wear resistance of materials while reducing the coefficient of friction. Herein, we present an overview of the underlying mechanisms of interactions between short-pulsed lasers and materials. In addition, we review published studies on the effects of LST on surface properties, including surface roughness, wettability, friction, and wear resistance. We believe that this review will provide valuable insights into the recent advances in surface property enhancement through LST, which exhibits potential for various applications.
Femto-second pump-probe and micro-Raman spectroscopy (RS) measurements have been made to identify optical phonons in Ge2Sb2Te5/InAs(111) and an InAs(111) substrate.
