Dynamic strain evolution in an optically excited Pt thin film

The structural evolution of a Pt thin film following photo-thermal excitation by 1 ps optical laser pulses was studied with a time resolution of 100 ps over a total time period of 1 ms. Laser pulse fluences below 50 mJ/cm2 were insufficient to relax the residual stress state of the as-prepared film...

Dynamic strain evolution in an optically excited Pt thin film
description The structural evolution of a Pt thin film following photo-thermal excitation by 1 ps optical laser pulses was studied with a time resolution of 100 ps over a total time period of 1 ms. Laser pulse fluences below 50 mJ/cm2 were insufficient to relax the residual stress state of the as-prepared film even after 10 000 pulses. In this fluence regime, a rapid initial lattice expansion and a decrease in the lattice coherence length due to ultrafast photo-thermal heating were observed. The lattice expansion reached a maximum, and the coherence length reached a minimum, 100–200 ps after excitation before monotonically decaying back to their initial values in about 1 µs. Laser pulse fluences greater than 50 mJ/cm2 produced irreversible stress relaxation within the first 10 optical pulses. In this regime, the lattice expansion was qualitatively similar to that in the low fluence regime, except that the initial structural state was not recovered. The evolution in the coherence length, however, was more complex. Following an initial decrease similar to that observed at low fluence, the coherence length then increased to a broad maximum greater than the initial value, before recovery.
