The heat influence zone of femtosecond laser ablated with a laser energy of 100 μJ exhibits a ripple-like feather, while a porous structure appears on the surface of the specimen ablated by a 200 μJ femtosecond laser. The contents of Ti, Zr, and Pd on the ablated surface decrease and that of Cu increases with increasing laser energy. The crystallization process occurs on the glass alloy specimens during femtosecond laser ablation, and the crystallinity of a 100 μJ femtosecond laser-ablated specimen is greater than that of a 200 μJ femtosecond laser-ablated one.展开更多

It was found that various novel micro-structures from feather-like ripples to cluster-like porous textures could be formed with increasing laser energy. Particularly, when the laser energy was 400 μJ, a periodic porous metal surface was gen-erated. Measurement of X-ray diffraction showed that the grains on the sample surface were refined through femtosecond laser ablation processes, but the crystal structures still kept their original states. Analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that Ni/Ti on the sample surface was changed with an evident oxidization of titanium element under different laser energies. This investigation pro-vides a new approach to improve the biocompatibility of NiTi-based implant devices.展开更多
