Аннотация:A type of laser-induced surface relief nanostructure—the nanocrown—on thin metallic films was studied
both experimentally and theoretically. The nanocrowns, representing a thin corrugated rim of resolidified melt
and resembling well-known impact-induced water-crown splashes, were produced by single diffraction-limited
nanosecond laser pulses on thin gold films of variable thickness on low-melting copper and high-melting tungsten
substrates, providing different transient melting and adhesion conditions for these films. The proposed model
of the nanocrown formation, based on a hydrodynamical (thermocapillary Marangoni) surface instability and
described by a Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, envisions key steps of the nanocrown appearance and gives
qualitative predictions of the acquired nanocrown parameters.
