Laser ablation of dielectrics by ultrashort laser pulses is reviewed. The basic interaction
between ultrashort light pulses and the dielectric material is described, and different …

Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) is one of the most promising techniques for the formation of
complex-oxide heterostructures, superlattices, and well controlled interfaces. The first part of …

One of the most frequently used methods for characterizing thin films is UV–Vis absorption.
The near‐edge region can be fitted to a simple expression in which the intercept gives the …

A survey of recent experimental results is given, presenting the growth of oxide epitaxial thin
films in P− T− x conditions, which are far from those necessary for the existence of …

After summing up the main physical properties of ZnO and its subsequent applications the
aim of this article is to review the growth of ZnO epitaxial films by PLD, MBE, MOCVD and …

The pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique has been applied for the epitaxial growth of
ZnO for more than two decades. The emergence of high-temperature stability of the excitonic …

We have studied the plasma induced at the surface of a titanium target following irradiation
with femtosecond and nanosecond laser pulses. Time-resolved imaging and spectroscopic …

Ultrafast lasers are proven and continually evolving manufacturing tools. Concurrently,
additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a key area of interest for 3D fabrication of …

We have studied the structural properties of ZnO thin films grown on Al 2 O 3 (00.1) single-
crystal substrates by pulsed-laser deposition using either a femtosecond or a nanosecond …
