• kind of mesh on the surface ripples, as can be seen in Figure 6. Thus, not all fibers will orient perpendicular to the surface ripples. During electrospinning, the first contact with the surface takes place in form of a single, thin nanofiber. Therefore, the theory presented above, where a single, thin

• irradiation of the PDMS samples with He+ FIB results in the formation of complex surface patterns. The patterns are composed of surface depressions in the irradiated areas and surface ripples surrounding the irradiated areas. The surface depressions have concave shapes, which are characterized by maximum

• parallel steps or ribs. The more ordered ripple formation on nanorods can be associated with the confinement of the nanorod facets in comparison with the quasi-infinite surface of the flat substrates.

• influences the surface energy and thus the wetting behavior [5][6][7][8][9][10]. A particular kind of controllable surface modification induced by pulsed lasers was discovered in 1965 by Milton Birnbaum [11] – upon irradiation of a germanium wafer with multiple laser pulses, self-organized periodic surface

• ripples were formed, featuring a period close to that of the laser wavelength with an orientation perpendicular to the laser polarization. This discovery opened a new field of research, and soon thereafter, similar and more complex self-organized structures were reported for many other types of materials
