Abstract:
Investigation of a polished surface of germanium single crystals scanned with a focused beam of pulse-frequency modulated UV radiation of Nd:YAG laser showed evidence of laser-induced surface etching at subthreshold energy densities ($E$ $\sim$ 0.5 – 1.15 J/cm$^2$) in the absence of noticeable traces of crater formation. It is suggested that the ablation centers nucleate on dislocations escaping at the surface of germanium crystals.
Keywords:
