DM: Luis: how to grow micro and nanostructures, with both, nanosecond and femtosecond laser pulses

(i) Laser irradiation of materials with laser pulses whose energy density is around the ablation limit, no matter whether they are femtosecond or nanosecond pulses, do produce microconical structures despite of the, most likely, different mechanisms involved. These structucture do have several interesting applications.
(ii) We will show how a metalic thin film of nanoparticles can be rearranged just by shining few laser pulses with a well defined intensity structure.
