Surface treatment of materials with excimer laser radiation often results in the formation of a rough columnar or cone-shaped surface topography, which leads to a considerable increase in the surface area. As a result, the search for a non-porous bioactive material with adequate mechanical properties and a high surface to volume ratio, similar to porous materials, which could be used for drug d...

The rapid thermal processing (RTP) technique features dynamic control of temperature, which permits high heating and cooling rates that cannot be reached with conventional furnace treatments. In recent years, RTP has been increasingly applied to the processing of magnetic materials. The controllable heating profiles provide an approach for the deliberate construction of materials structure via ...

Molecular/atomic-level computer modeling of laser–materials interactions is playing an increasingly important role in the investigation of complex and highly nonequilibrium processes involved in short-pulse laser processing and surface modification. This chapter provides an overview of recent progress in the development of computational methods for simulation of laser interactions with organic ...

Laser Shock Processing (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technology. LSP can induce compress residual stress layer in the surface of metallic materials, which is used for improving the fatigue life. In this study, the propagation course of typical laser shock wave in material was analyzed according to the theory of plasticity dynamics and the theory of stress wave. The effects of laser s...

introduction: the effectiveness of low power lasers for incisional wound healing, because of conflicting results of previous research studies, is uncertain. therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate low power laser effects on incisional wound healing. materials and methods: incisional wound was produced on thirty-six mature male guinea pigs under general and local anesthesia. in half of...

The laser is a powerful tool for materials processing, incorporated already in many industrial processes and laboratory procedures. In this work, we are concerned with processing applied to research development of ceramics electrochemical cells other high temperature oxide energy applications. Solidification single crystals or composites relevant oxides can be performed by the assisted floating...
