Abstract

We investigated the physical and chemical changes induced in soot aggregates exposed to laser radiation using a scanning mobility particle sizer, a transmission electron microscope,and a scanning transmission x-ray microscope to perform near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. Laser-induced nanoparticle production was observed at fluences above0.12 J/cm2 at532 nm and0.22 J/cm2 at1064 nm. Our results indicate that new particle formation proceeds via (1) vaporization of small carbon clusters by thermal or photolytic mechanisms, followed by homogeneous nucleation, (2) heterogeneous nucleation of vaporized carbon clusters onto material ablated from primary particles, or (3)both processes.

Transformation of diamond nanoparticles into onion-like carbon by electron irradiation studied directly inside an ultrahigh-vacuum transmission electron microscope

Journal Article Hiraki, J. ; Mori, H. ; Taguchi, E. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

In situ observation of the transformation of diamond nanoparticles (DNP) into onion-like carbon (OLC) was made during electron-beam irradiation inside an ultrahigh-vacuum transmission electron microscope at 300 kV with 8.5x10{sup 23} e/m{sup 2}. 5 nm DNP changed into OLC within about 10 min of irradiation, while 20 nm DNP did not change to OLC but to graphite. Therefore, the size effect is critical to the formation of OLC. The mechanism of formation of OLC from DNP is discussed.

In situ monitoring of material processing by a pulsed laser beam coupled via a lensed fiber into a scanning electron microscope

Journal Article Hwang, David J. ; Misra, Nipun ; Grigoropoulos, Costas P. ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, International Journal Devoted to Vacuum, Surfaces, and Films

In this study, a new method coupling laser irradiation into a dual-beam scanning electron microscope (SEM) and focused-ion-beam (FIB) system is developed. By using a lensed fiber, pulsed laser illumination could be successfully delivered onto the sample under SEM imaging, providing in situ monitoring for laser material processing applications including local modification of micro-/nanostructures and laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition. In situ characterization of the laser-induced features by high resolution SEM imaging and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry was successfully carried out. Furthermore, in situ repair of a contaminated lensed fiber probe during laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition was demonstrated via FIB milling.more »« less
