Laser-induced surface relief nanocrowns as a manifestation of nanoscale Rayleigh-Plateau hydrodynamic instability
- Nanoscale hydrodynamic instability of ring-like molten rims around ablative microholes produced in nanometer-thick silver and gold films by tightly focused nanosecond (ns) laser pulses was experimentally explored in terms of laser pulse energy and film thickness. These parametric dependencies of basic instability characteristics - order and period of the resulting nanocrowns - were analyzed, revealing its apparently Rayleigh-Plateau character, as compared to much less consistent possible van der Waals and impact origins. Along with fundamental importance, these findings will put forward ns pulsed laser ablation as an alternative facile inexpensive table-top approach to study such hydrodynamic instabilities developing at ns temporal and nanometer spatial scales as well as to produce unique plasmon-active hierarchical surface morphologies applicable for chemo- and biosensing.
