Optical and morphological properties of nanostructured TiOx film formed by 532nm nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation in water is analysed. We observe three different surface features: blackening, surface pits and sub-surface bubbles. The appearance of these features is allowed once an irradiation fluence of 0.9Jcm-2 is used. Nevertheless, blackening, formation of pits and bubble are delayed until an accumulated fluence threshold of 7.5, 23 and 24Jcm-2 is achieved respectively. A fully evolved complex nano-porous structure is obtained at an accumulated fluence of 100Jcm-2. A possible mechanism of formation of these features was inferred.

Abstract

Optical and morphological properties of nanostructured TiOx film formed by 532nm nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation in water is analysed. We observe three different surface features: blackening, surface pits and sub-surface bubbles. The appearance of these features is allowed once an irradiation fluence of 0.9Jcm-2 is used. Nevertheless, blackening, formation of pits and bubble are delayed until an accumulated fluence threshold of 7.5, 23 and 24Jcm-2 is achieved respectively. A fully evolved complex nano-porous structure is obtained at an accumulated fluence of 100Jcm-2. A possible mechanism of formation of these features was inferred.
