Abstract
The ability of short pulse laser ablation in liquids to produce clean colloidal nanoparticles and unusual surface morphology and microstructure has been employed in a range of practical applications. The results of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations help to uncover the key processes that control the structure of laser-modified surfaces and nanoparticle size distributions generated by pulsed laser ablation in liquids. The simulations are performed for one-component metals, bilayer thin films and alloy targets. The predictions of the simulations include the emergence of Rayleigh–Taylor hydrodynamic instability at the interface between ablation plume and liquid environment, as well as the limited elemental mixing in the colloidal nanoparticles generated by laser ablation of bilayer films.
