Areas of the sample were then exposed to a single laser pulse (8 ps duration, wavelength \u03bb = 355 nm), and the spatial intensity modulation of the near field in the vicinity of the particles revealed via the resulting patterning of the substrate surface. In this regime, ncolloid &lt; nliquid and the near-field optical intensification is concentrated at and beyond the edge of the particle. Detailed experimental characterization of the irradiated Si surface using atomic force microscopy reveals contrasting topographies. The same optical behavior is observed with both liquids, i.e., the incident laser light diverges on interaction with the colloidal particle, but the resulting interaction with the substrate is liquid dependent. Topographic analysis indicates localized ablation and patterning of the Si substrate when using toluene, whereas the patterning induced under carbon tetrachloride is on a larger scale and extends well below the original substrate surface\u2014hinting at a laser induced photochemical contribution to the surface patterning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma10111306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,14]],"date-time":"2017-11-14T10:58:32Z","timestamp":1510657112000},"page":"1306","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Modifying the Morphology of Silicon Surfaces by Laser Induced Liquid Assisted Colloidal Lithography"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Ulmeanu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1TS, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Harniman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1TS, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Petko","family":"Petkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiff School of Engineering, Cardiff University, Cardiff CF24 3AA, UK"},{"name":"School of Engineering, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3DJ, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Ashfold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1TS, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2065","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biomaterials.2003.08.058","article-title":"Nano-fibrous poly(l-lactic acid) scaffolds with interconnected spherical macropores","volume":"25","author":"Chen","year":"2004","journal-title":"Biomaterials"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"388","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1594.2008.00557.x","article-title":"Nanobioengineered electrospun composite nanofibers and osteoblasts for bone regeneration","volume":"32","author":"Venugopal","year":"2008","journal-title":"Artif.
