There are two parts in this thesis. For the first part, the laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs) have been s produced on the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) microbridges by irradiating femtosecond laser pulses. By adjusting the fluences, and the polarization of a laser beam, the properties and direction of LIPSSs can be controlled on the surface of YBCO microbridges, which were examined through SEM images. Moreover, the LIPSS-dependent transport properties of laser irradiated YBCO microbridges are measured and discussed. For the second part, the wurtzite phase ZnSe nanoparticles were prepared from zincblende ZnSe single crystal using femtosecond pulse laser ablation. By controlling the laser fluences, the average size of ZnSe nanoparticles can be varied. In Raman spectra, the surface phonon mode becomes dominant in the smaller average particle size with uniform size distribution.
