Springer Laser-Surface Interactions for New Materials Production

This academic text provides a comprehensive overview of laser-matter interaction, specifically focused on modifying surface properties and the preparation of new materials. Based on lectures from the First International School held in San Servolo Island, Venice, this volume serves as a deep dive into the science of tailoring structure and properties through advanced laser techniques. Designed primarily for PhD students and researchers, the content covers essential aspects of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at the nanometer scale. By exploring how laser interactions can be used to engineer materials, this book offers valuable insights for those working in materials science and applied optics. It bridges the gap between basic theoretical aspects and practical applications in modern material production.
