Thick Film Metastable Materials via Laser Processing
Abstract
Over course of this project, the objective has evolved based on the results obtained. In the original proposal, our objective was basically to study the interaction between the incident laser and the multiphase materials that are used in laser direct write deposition in order to produce metastable phases of materials for improved performance in a variety of applications such as energy storage and corrosion resistant systems. Based on our results described below, we extended this study in two significant ways. In the first modification, we have begun to develop a method based on a thick polymer absorbing layer to isolate the effects of mechanical and thermal stress on the transferred materials. In the second extension, we have developed methods to rapidly shape the intensity profile of the incident laser and begun preliminary studies on the effects of shape on the material response. Both of these important extensions were supported in part by AFOSR and will be continued in future studies.
