Laser ablation in liquid-phase (LAL) has been developed since the 1990s, but the interest in
laser synthesis of colloids has emerged in the last decade due to a significant improvement …

Laser processing with ultra-short double pulses has gained attraction since the beginning of
the 2000s. In the last decade, pulse bursts consisting of multiple pulses with a delay of …

The presented review summarizes nearly two decades of studies on femtosecond laser-
induced breakdown spectrometry (fs-LIBS). When an ultra-short (< 1 ps) laser pulse is used …

Machining is basically defined as a process of gradual material removal used to finish
materials of desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy. For achieving the desired …

Laser ablation is becoming a dominant technology for direct solid sampling in analytical
chemistry. Laser ablation refers to the process in which an intense burst of energy delivered …

Rapid, in-field, and non-contact isotopic analysis of solid materials is extremely important to
a large number of applications, such as nuclear nonproliferation monitoring and forensics …

The tribological characteristics of sliding surfaces have been remarkably improved by
surface texturing. Surface texturing can be beneficial in many ways; for example, it can …

Micro/nano structures have unique optical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties.
Studies on the preparation of micro/nano structures are of considerable research value and …

Analytical applications of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), namely optical
emission spectroscopy of laser-induced plasmas, have been constantly growing thanks to its …
