Laser-induced film ejection at interfaces: Comparison of the dynamics of liquid and solid films

The ejection dynamics of nanometer-thin fluid isopropanol and solid CO 2 films are investigated. The films are deposited on a silicon substrate, which is rapidly heated by a nanosecond laser pulse (Nd:YAG, 532 nm). A small fraction of material at the interface evaporates and the film on top is eject...

Zusammenfassung:The ejection dynamics of nanometer-thin fluid isopropanol and solid CO 2 films are investigated. The films are deposited on a silicon substrate, which is rapidly heated by a nanosecond laser pulse (Nd:YAG, 532 nm). A small fraction of material at the interface evaporates and the film on top is ejected as an intact layer. The kinetic energies of the two different films with thicknesses between 100 nm and 1 μm give an insight into the dynamics of a flying lamella.
