Femtosecond laser annealing of thin-film multilayered structures based on amorphous silicon and germanium were studied. The original samples were synthesized via plasma-enhanced deposition on glass substrate. Scanning electron microscopy revealed formation of periodic surface structures in the irradiated films. Raman spectra analysis revealed crystallization of amorphous germanium as a result of femtosecond laser pulses action, as well as fluence-dependent mixture of the germanium and silicon layers at absence of crystallization of the amorphous silicon layers.

2D Ti-Fe multilayer preparation has been attracting increased interest due to its ability to form intermetallic compounds between metallic titanium and metallic iron thin layers. In particular, the TiFe compound can absorb hydrogen gas at room temperature. We applied femtosecond laser pulses to heat Ti-Fe multilayer structures to promote the appearance of intermetallic compounds and generate surface nanostructuring. The surface pattern, known as Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS), can accelerate the kinetics of chemical interaction between solid TiFe and gaseous hydrogen. The formation of LIPSS on Ti-Fe multilayered thin films were investigated using of scanning electron microscopy, photo-electron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. To explore the thermal response of the multiple layered structure and the mechanisms leading to surface patterning after irradiating the compound with single laser pulses, theoretical simulations were conducted to interpret the experimental observations.
