Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pulsed laser melting in liquid (PLML) is a novel technique to produce submicron spherical particles (SSPs) of various materials. In the process, SSPs is formed by irradiation of laser pulses into a colloidal dispersion. Inner structure of Ag SSPs was evaluated by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) using a bulk metallic glass with no EBSD as a substrate for the measurement. Local structure of silver SSPs is crystalline although the feature of SSPs is totally spherical. It is considered that this fascinating materials are produced through nonlinear melting and cooling processes. It was assumed that multidimensional single crystal bulk materials could be formed from those of polycrystal by applying PLML. However no effects were confirmed in the process. Accordingly, it is considered that small crystalline size of raw materials is important for the recrystallization through PLML.
