Mixing periodic topographies and structural patterns on silicon surfaces mediated by ultrafast photoexcited charge carriers

Ultrafast laser irradiation of silicon can significantly modify charge densities and optical indices, impacting the formation and the development of nanoscale-arranged periodic structures. Photoexcitation degree as well as thermodynamic, hydrodynamic, and structural aspects are reported for crossed...
