Soon after the invention of the pulsed ruby laser by Maiman in 1960, investigators were
eager to examine the potential of pulsed laser radiation for medical applications. It was …

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 …

A brief review is given regarding ultrafast laser micromachining of materials. Some general
experimental observations are first provided to show the characteristics of ultrafast laser …

Short pulse laser irradiation has the ability to bring a material into a state of strong electronic,
thermal, phase, and mechanical nonequilibrium and trigger a sequence of structural …

This work presents a survey on the recent progress in laser ablation of a solid target in a
confining liquid for the synthesis of nanocrystals with focus on the mechanism of nanocrystal …

The microscopic mechanisms of femtosecond laser ablation of an Al target are investigated
in large-scale massively parallel atomistic simulations performed with a computational …

Imaging mass spectrometry combines the chemical specificity and parallel detection of mass
spectrometry with microscopic imaging capabilities. The ability to simultaneously obtain …

The kinetics and microscopic mechanisms of laser melting and disintegration of thin Ni and
