Effects of beam pulse width and power density in silver nanowire welding using pulsed IR laser

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A direct pulsed laser process for welding and networking silver nanowires was developed. The welded nanowire network demonstrated modified electrical properties in a transparent substance. In particular, the welding points on the nanowires were investigated to measure the resistance at the connections. The level of networking in nanowires was explored with respect to various laser pulse widths and average power densities. In particular, the influence of laser beam density was investigated in detail. Selective laser treatment can be advantageous in imparting customized local property changes in transparent conducting materials. Various applications of the process are also discussed in this paper.
