Abstract

Photoinduced deformation of an amorphous As2S3 film surface under illumination by sub-bandgap (638 nm) and above-bandgap (532 nm) polarized laser light at oblique incidence are studied by atomic force microscopy performed directly after the film exposure to the laser beam. Photoinduced expansion as well as directional mass transport from the laser spot are observed. The photodeformation character under sub-bandgap and above-bandgap illumination are discussed in view of the optical forces (gradient force and scattering force) due to the interaction of light with the amorphous As2S3 film .
