Abstract
We show the controlled transfer of thin films of different metallic materials to a receiving substrate. Single pulses from a mode locked (40 ps pulse), frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser (energy flux ≈ 13 J/cm2 at 532 nm) were used. Receiving substrates (metals, semiconductors or crystals) were placed parallel, at a close proximity to the thin film. Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as EDAX analysis were performed, showing evidence of the production of micrometric scale patterns. In particular, we studied the transfer of precious metal to metal/crystals for possible application in the jewellery industry.
