The melting regimes induced controllable by laser radiation on the surface of solids with the diagnostics of arising micro-nanostructures and hydrodynamic instabilities

Abstract

Abstract We applied a controlled method for producing nanostructures on glass substrates. We made detailed measurements to control the resulting micro-and nanostructures using as the principal example of surface modification of glassy carbon compositions under laser irradiation. The properties of the samples after laser irradiation were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) with an accuracy of about 10 nm in the scanning plane. The results of probing the material modification by the AFM images of its surface have been considered in frame of the nonlinear hydrodynamic mathematical approach and computer simulation.
