Abstract

The use of laser ablation of biofabricated coralline skeletal material Porites lutea for particle deposition was discussed. It was found that the deposition was performed in an evacuated chamber by pulses of the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser. It was observed that the as-deposited coatings partially retained the inorganic constitutent of the CaCO3 target and mostly transformed to CaO. Analysis shows that the crystalline phase changed from solely aragonite in the target to a mixture of aragonite and calcite microparticles and CaO nanofeatures.
