Abstract
A system and a method for fabricating crystals, the method comprising heating an irradiation target to a temperature comprised in a range between a boiling point temperature of a material of the irradiation target and a critical point temperature of the material of the irradiation target, thereby generating a plasma plume of particles ablated from a surface of the irradiation target.
Claims13
A method for fabrication of crystals, comprising irradiating a solid metallic irradiation target with a laser-accelerated proton beam to induce explosive boiling and detach micro- and nano-crystals from the irradiation target and nucleation of the micro- and nano-crystals in a plasma plume composed by ions and atoms detached from the laser-irradiated irradiation target;
- and depositing crystals synthesized in the plasma plume on a cold solid surface of a deposition target positioned at a distance from the irradiation target.
A method for fabrication of crystals, comprising irradiating a first target with a laser-accelerated proton beam to induce explosive boiling and detach micro- and nano-crystals from the first target and nucleation of the micro- and nano-crystals in a plasma plume composed by ions and atoms detached from the laser-irradiated first target;
- and depositing crystals synthesized in the plasma plume on a cold surface of a second target positioned at a distance from the first target.
