Engineering light induced phase change for emerging nanoscale processes
Light-induced phase change (LPC) is the unifying theme underpinning many apparently non-related processes in i) additive manufacturing (AM) for metals where laser induced vaporisation and the formation of keyhole porosity is a major limiting factor for 3D printing, ii) nanomedicine (NM) where laser induced nanobubble dynamics and associated shockwave effect is powerful for malicious cell destruction, and iii) solar energy (EN) where direct steam /vapor production from bulk and surface fluid is a promising technology for power and clean water solutions. In addition to the challenging multiscale nature of phase change, LPC add further complexities by introducing the multiphysics nature due to…
