Large scale, highly dense nanoholes on metal surfaces by underwater laser assisted hydrogen etching near nanocrystalline boundary
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method to generate large scale and highly dense nanoholes is presented in this paper. By the pulsed laser irradiation under water, the hydrogen etching is introduced to form high density nanoholes on the surfaces of AISI 4140 steel and Ti. In order to achieve higher nanohole density, laser shock peening (LSP) followed by recrystallization is used for grain refinement. It is found that the nanohole density does not increase until recrystallization of the substructures after laser shock peening. The mechanism of nanohole generation is studied in detail. This method can be also applied to generate nanoholes on other materials with hydrogen etching effect. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Au/Ag bilayered metal mesh with arrays of nanoholes were devised as a catalyst for metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon. The present metal catalyst allows us not only to overcome drawbacks involved in conventional Ag-based etching processes, but also to fabricate extended arrays of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with controlled dimension and density. We demonstrate that SiNWs with different mo...

The metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) was used to synthesis silicon nanowires. The effect of etchant concentration, etching and chemical plating time and doping density on silicon nanowires length were investigated. It is held that the increasing of HF and H2O2 concentrations lead to etching rate increment and formation of wire-like structure. The results show that, the appropriate ratio o...
