Thickness and Morphology Control in Laser‐Assisted Zone Casting of Ultrathin, Polycrystalline Films
This study demonstrates laser‐assisted zone casting (LAZEC), a novel contactless, wet deposition method allowing exceptionally high control of crystal morphology and thickness in ultrathin polymer and small molecule‐based films. The deposition mechanism relies on laser heating‐controlled Marangoni and capillary flows in solution, enabling scalable film
