Summary: The study examines the growth and collapse of cavitation bubbles generated during pulsed laser ablation in water, ethanol, and n-butanol. It reveals that ethanol and n-butanol undergo cavitation-induced reactions, hindering bubble collapse, while bubbles in water achieve the smallest radii at collapse, leading to sharp increases in temperature and pressure. These findings highlight the importance of chemical effects in liquids on the implosive collapse of cavitation bubbles.

Summary: This study demonstrated laser ablation-induced crystallization in a single-component system using a melt of glacial acetic acid. The crystallization probability was found to depend on laser energy, pulse duration, and beam profile, as well as other laser-induced phenomena such as cavitation bubble generation and temperature elevation. The qualitative interpretation of the crystallization probability was attributed to the interplay between positive (size of cavitation bubble) and negative (temperature elevation) factors, providing fundamental insights into the mechanism of laser ablation-induced crystallization.

Summary: The generation of liquid jets and drops near a liquid-air interface using femtosecond laser pulses involves the nucleation of cavitation bubbles and the emergence of two distinct jets. The first jet is thin and fast, produced during the initial expansion of the bubble, while the second jet is thick and slow, emanating from the surface as the bubble deflates. The mechanism behind this phenomenon has been investigated using experiments and simulations, revealing that the second jet is not a result of bubble expansion but originates from the secondary flows induced by the bubble dynamics. A phase diagram has been established to understand the emergence of the second jet by linking its properties to the control parameters of the problem.

Summary: The study focuses on the effects of different sizes of gold nanoparticles on the signal enhancement during Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, showing that the improvement in emission signal occurs at specific NPs surface concentration, which depends on the size of the nanoparticles. Once the concentration has been optimized for each NP size, the plasmon-enhanced ablation is moderately affected by the NPs size.

Summary: NELIBS is a spectroscopic technique that investigates the laser-induced plasma emission obtained by laser ablation after the deposition of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) on a sample's surface. The coupling of NP plasmons with the laser pulse improves the analytical signal. Different types of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), including spherical AuNPs (AuNSs) and gold nanorods (AuNRs), were used in this study. The effect of AuNR size on the coupling between the laser beam and AuNPs was explored by investigating AuNRs with different lengths but the same diameter. LIBS and NELIBS experiments were conducted on a Ti target to compare the effects of AuNRs and AuNSs on the emission spectra.

Summary: The geochemical characterisation of the NWA 2975 Martian meteorite was completed using Raman spectroscopy supported by micro energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (mu-EDXRF) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which enabled an accurate interpretation of molecular and elemental results. Various major minerals, including pyroxenes and plagioclases, were detected and different metal compositions for these minerals were defined based on secondary Raman spectroscopy bands. Additionally, the presence of coesite, a high-pressure polymorph of silica, was identified in this meteorite for the first time.

Summary: This paper discusses the significance of the excitation temperature retrieved with the Boltzmann plot method and the correct analysis of the obtained temperature accuracy. Several issues that are often neglected in the literature are analyzed, including the effect of signal-to-noise ratio on the accuracy of the Boltzmann plot, the difference between average temperature and apparent temperature, and the sensitivity of the Boltzmann plot method. Experimental simulations and real experiments are used to demonstrate the importance of these issues. Guidelines for the correct use of the Boltzmann plot and obtained temperature value are provided in the conclusion.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
