Abstract
Technical polycrystalline sintered Al2O3 90%. substrates have been irradiated, in a vacuum chamber, at grazing incident angles ;308., with pulsed ArF ls193 nm, hns6.4 eV. excimer laser, at different fluences and numbers of pulses, to modify the structure and morphology of the surface. Vacuum, inert gas and oxygen atmospheres, at different substrate temperatures, ;25°C and ;700#C, have been used to study surface chemistry and morphology modifications induced by laser energy. Surface chemistry has been analysed by XPS spectroscopy. Morphological modifications have been studied by SEMrEDS microscopy. Changes in surface roughness have been quantified by a standard profilometer.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
