Thin-film metallic glasses obtained by physical vapor deposition exhibit microstructures free from grain boundaries, crystallites and dislocations but also characterized by a nanometric surface roughness. These singular properties make them more resilient to other metals to form laser-induced nanopatterns. Here we investigate the morphological response of Zr65Cu35 alloys under ultrafast irradiation with multipulse feedback. We experimentally demonstrate that the initial columnar microstructure affects the surface topography evolution and conditions the required energy dose to reach desired structures in the nanoscale domain. Double pulses femtosecond laser irradiation is also shown to be an efficient strategy to force materials to form uniform nanostructures even when their thermomechanical properties have a poor predisposition to generate them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano11051076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]],"date-time":"2021-04-22T13:59:14Z","timestamp":1619099954000},"page":"1076","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Initial Morphology and Feedback Effects on Laser-Induced Periodic Nanostructuring of Thin-Film Metallic Glasses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Mathilde","family":"Prudent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, UJM-Saint-Etienne, CNRS, Institute of Optics Graduate School, Laboratoire Hubert Curien UMR CNRS 5516, F-42023 St-Etienne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florent","family":"Bourquard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, UJM-Saint-Etienne, CNRS, Institute of Optics Graduate School, Laboratoire Hubert Curien UMR CNRS 5516, F-42023 St-Etienne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0246-6002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"Borroto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, CNRS, IJL, F-54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8790-3162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Pierson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, CNRS, IJL, F-54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florence","family":"Garrelie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, UJM-Saint-Etienne, CNRS, Institute of Optics Graduate School, Laboratoire Hubert Curien UMR CNRS 5516, F-42023 St-Etienne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8462-7019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Philippe","family":"Colombier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, UJM-Saint-Etienne, CNRS, Institute of Optics Graduate School, Laboratoire Hubert Curien UMR CNRS 5516, F-42023 St-Etienne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1109\/JSTQE.2016.2614183","article-title":"Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures\u2014A Scientific Evergreen","volume":"23","author":"Bonse","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE J.
