Laser-assisted formation of metallic oxide microtubes
 L. Nánai*, T.F. George+
(*József Attila University, +University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point)
 The fabrication of metallic oxide microtubes is possible directly, without any support structure, by CW infrared laser-assisted oxidation of the metal in air. The particular case presented is the growth of tubelike vanadium pentoxide microcrystals grown in our laboratories.
