Formation of periodic structures on the surface of solids under the effect of laser radiation
Abstract
An experimental and theoretical investigation is carried out to ascertain the influence of inhomogeneities present at the surface of solids on the formation of periodic structures under the effect of radiation. A pulsed CO2 laser with transverse excitation was used. The present results attest to the importance of initial perturbations in the formation processes of periodic surface structures.
