forming metal oxide (TiO2) of an amount that is proportional to thelaser-activated metal (titanium) or available O2 at that point, which-ever is smaller. Here, we simply refer to this controlled transformationas ablation, because similar physical processes underlie it, eventhough the metal is not removed, but is chemically transformed. Asa result of the ablation threshold, no processing of the surfaceshould occur between the nanolines, where partially destructive inter-ference leads to the total intensity being below the ablation threshold.The presence of this threshold, which was confirmed experimentally(Fig. 3; Supplementary Section ‘Experimental evidence for thethreshold for intensity’), is the main source of nonlinearity.

When scanning a small-diameter beam, the nanostructures arecreated sequentially, with existing structures creating new structures,similar to the toppling of dominoes. This enables the formation ofextremely uniform nanostructures (experimental and simulatedresults are shown in Fig. 3e and f, respectively). Moreover, it ispossible to tile indefinitely large areas with nanostructures,without a discernible reduction in long-range uniformity whenusing a small laser beam. We scan the beam along a line, thenshift the beam laterally while still preserving a partial overlap withthe previous point, and then scan again parallel to the line of thescan (with partial overlap being maintained all along the way withthe first line of the scan). This can be visually observed inSupplementary Movie S1, where the red disk represents the beamlocation and verified experimentally (Supplementary Movie S2).Further evidence of the role of nonlocal feedback lies in the factthat the new structures form a tilted front and the nanolinesbecome distorted into a wavy pattern at the end of each scan linedue to incomplete nonlocal feedback.

The nanostructure formation mechanism exhibits a significantdegree of robustness against distinct types of perturbations. First,the resultant field at any point is formed collectively by the entiresurrounding area, so the contributions of isolated defects or roughpatches on the surface are easily overwhelmed. When a defect isplaced along the beam path (under conditions otherwise the sameas in Fig. 3f), the nanolines suffer only minor distortions(Fig. 3g). Defects encountered in Supplementary Movie S2provide experimental confirmation. Second, Supplementary MovieS2 shows that the beam focus was not maintained well during scan-ning due to the poor mechanical stability of our set-up. However,key features, such as nanoline period and width, are independentof laser power (see Supplementary Section ‘Insensitivity of thenanostructure features to laser power and exposure time’ for directexperimental confirmation). Because of this insensitivity, a partialloss of focus during scanning is inconsequential. In fact, we foundthe standard and Allan deviations of the nanoline period of thisstructure to be 0.9 nm and 0.14 nm, respectively (for details seeSupplementary Section ‘Characterization of the uniformity of thenanostructures’). Third, as a result of the negative feedbackmechanism, the growth of the nanostructures saturates at a givenheight. Even minutes-long exposure to a stationary beam or multiplescans of the laser over the same area have no discernible effect(Supplementary Movie S4). Robustness against a range of pertur-bations is a coveted feature of nonlinear systems5 that is extremelydifficult to achieve in strictly linear systems.

A diverse range of nanostructures have been fabricated using thisapproach. A photograph of nanostructures covering a 3 mm2 area,fabricated on a thin and flexible glass slide, is presented in Fig. 4a.

and y ' , and r�

is the displacement vector

between (x, y) and (x ', y ') . In order to find the total local field at an arbitrary point (x, y) on the

surface, we integrate over the contributions from all points on the surface,

E��surf ,n =

�En (x, y)+

�Escat (x ', y ')dx 'dy '∫∫ . (7)

Here, normalization of this result to ensure that the sum of the total power scattered over the

surface and that of the reflected light equals the incoming power is implicit.

In order to clarify the underlying physics, let us consider the special case of linearly polarised light

along the y axis. As such, φ = 0 , Ex ' = 0 and Ey ' = E0 . Then, our result reduces to

�Escat (x ', y ') = E0 sinθ cosθ( fr + gθ )x '+ ( fr cos

2θ + gθ sin2θ )y '{ }× e−

x '−x '0 ,n( )2+ y '−y '0 ,n( )22w2 .

For large r , further simplification is in order,

�Escat (x ', y ') = Ey ' e

where we have ignored the component along x ' , since it does not interfere with the incoming light,

which is along y ' and the implicit normalisation operation suppresses its influence.

Interpretation of this result is straightforward. The total field is a surface integral with the product

of the surface height and the incident field at each point contributing. The form of the integral is

1–20 mm/s by means of a computer-controlled XYZ stage (PI miCos; Eschbach-Germany) while pulsing the laser at 1 kHz. To achieve complete surface cover-age, consecutive laser tracks were partially overlapped by a lateral displacement of about 30% of the track width. The polarization direction was controlled by a half-wave plate introduced in the optical path. The laser treatment was carried out in air.

Surface characterizationQuantitative assessment of the surface topography was carried out using stereoscopic pairs of scanning elec-tron microscopy (SEM) micrographs obtained at 0 and 10° tilting angle using a JEOL JSM-7001F field emis-sion gun scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) and Alicona-MeX© software 2.0 (Alicona Imag-ing; Graz-Austria) [21]. The surface roughness was expressed by the parameters arithmetic mean height

(Ra) and maximum height (Rz), defined according to ISO 4287 standard and calculated from at least ten measurements taken from each stereoscopic pair in a direction perpendicular to the laser beam scanning direction.

The surface chemical composition was determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) using a XSAM800 (KRATOS) spectrometer operated in the fixed analyzer transmission mode, with a pass energy of 20 eV, nonmonochromatized AlKα radiation (hν = 1486.6 eV), 120 W power (10 mA × 12 kV) and a take-off angle relative to the surface holder of 45°. The samples were analyzed in ultra-high vacuum (∼10-7 Pa) at room temperature. The spectra were collected and stored in 300 channels with a step of 0.1 eV and 60 s of acquisition time by sweep, using Vision (KRA-TOS) software. The areas of the peaks components were evaluated after fitting with Gaussian-Lorentzian

the processing methods and parameters indicated in Table 1. The texture depicted in Figure 1A–C consists of nanoripples known as LIPSSs. The average period and the peak-to-valley distance are 715 ± 86 and 296 ± 58 nm, respectively. The second type of texture consists of an array of NPs (Figure 1D–F). The rounded tops of the NPs are due to resolidification of molten

material. The third type of texture consists of micro-columns with roughly elliptical cross-section covered with LIPSSs (Figure 1G–I), forming a bimodal surface roughness distribution. The length of the major and minor axis of the columns and their maximum height are 8 ± 2, 6 ± 1 and 4 ± 1 μm, respectively. These textures are not commensurate with the grain size of the material and bear no relationship with the mate-rial microstructure. The values of Ra and Rz for all the laser-textured surfaces are given in Table 2.

XPS survey spectra of the laser-treated surfaces are presented in Supplementary Figure 1 (see online at www.futuremedicine.com/doi/suppl/10.2217/nnm.15.19). They present peaks corresponding to titanium, alumi-num, oxygen and carbon, as well as Auger electrons peaks of Ti, O and C. The vanadium peaks are par-tially overlapped with the oxygen satellite peaks and cannot be distinguished. The Ti 2p, O 1s and Al 2p peaks are presented in Figure 2. The Ti 2p peak con-sists of three doublets with a spin-orbit split of 5.7 ± 0.1 eV. The main component (Ti 2p3/2) of the major dou-blet is centered at 458.3 ± 0.1 eV and can be assigned to Ti (IV) in TiO2. A less intense doublet with a Ti 2p3/2 component centered at 455.6 ± 0.2 eV can be assigned to Ti (III) in Ti2O3. In addition, for polished and nano-pillar textured specimens a third doublet with the Ti 2p3/2 component centered at 453.8 ± 0.2 eV is observed, which can be attributed to metallic titanium. The O 1s peak consists of three components at 529.9 ± 0.2, 531.5 ± 0.1 and 532.7 ± 0.3 eV. They can be attributed to O-2, a mixture of hydroxyl (OH-) and carbonyl groups (C = O) and oxygen singly bound to carbon (C – O), respectively. The presence of C – O and C = O groups was also confirmed by the analysis of the C 1s peak (not shown). The Al 2p peak consists of three doublets with a spin-orbit split of 0.4 eV. The most intense has its main component, Al 2p3/2, centered at 74.3 ± 0.1 eV and can be assigned to Al (III) in Al2O3. Another dou-blet, with the Al 2p3/2 component centered at 71.6 ± 0.1 eV, is observed for the polished surface and is due to metallic aluminum. Finally, a low-intensity doublet with the Al 2p3/2 component centered at 76.5 ± 0.1 eV is observed for microcolumn-textured surfaces, which
