RESONANT INFRARED LASER-ASSISTED NANOPARTICLE TRANSFER AND APPLICATIONS OF SAME

摘要

A method for depositing particles onto a substrate. In one embodiment, the method providing a plurality of particles in a solvent or a matrix of solvents to form a solution; freezing the solution to form a target having a surface; irradiating the target with a light of a wavelength in the infrared region which is resonant with a vibrational mode of the target so as to vaporize the particles in the target without decomposing the particles; and depositing the vaporized particles onto the substrate at a deposition rate to form a film of particles thereon, where the substrate is positioned such that the substrate and the target define a distance therebetween.
