About this book
Bringing together contributions from leading experts in the field, this book reviews laser processing concepts that allow the structuring of material beyond optical limits, and methods that facilitate direct observation of the underlying mechanisms by exploring direct structuring and self-organization phenomena. The capacity to nanostructure material using ultrafast lasers lays the groundwork for the next generation of flexible and precise material processing tools. Rapid access to scales of 100 nm and below in two and three dimensions becomes a factor of paramount importance to engineer materials and to design innovative functions. To reflect the dynamic nature of the field at all levels from basic science to applications, the book is divided into three parts, Fundamental Processes, Concepts of Extreme Nanostructuring, and Applications, each of which is comprehensively covered. This book will be a useful resource for graduate students and researchers in laser processing, materials engineering, and nanoscience.
Reviews
“Ultrafast lasers are a revolution in the field of laser technology, evidenced by the Nobel Prize in Physics for Dr. Gérard Mourou and his collaborators. Nanoscience and nanotechnology have attracted tremendous attention from scientists and engineers since 2000. This book uniquely combines both fields which can serve many people who are working in either or both areas. This book was edited by a group of well-established researchers. The depth and breadth of their knowledge allow them to combine such a large pool of knowledge in a single book with a clear structure, from fundamental sciences to concepts of extreme nanostructuring and practical applications. This book collected topics which represent the state-of-the-art works in the most important areas of the field. It can give readers a full picture of what is happening in the field without the necessity of spending much time to search for the literature. It fits the needs of those both who are entering the research field or have worked in this field for a long time.” (Prof. Yongfeng Lu, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA)
