Sub-micrometer and nanoscale imprinting on large-area foils using high-pressure underwater shock waves

Laser shock imprinting (LSI) is an emerging method for creating sub-micrometer and nanoscale reliefs on thin metal foils. This report proposes using underwater shockwaves, generated by detonating an explosive charge, for high-quality imprinting as an alternative to LSI. The nanoscale relief of a pol...
