N2 - The use of laser interference metallurgy for bio-mimetic scaling of mechanical behavior of thin films, coatings, and surfaces was described. The interference pattern can be easily changed by the number of laser beams, the geometric orientation of beams in the space, and the relative intensities between the beams. The patterns can be calculated accurately as the intensity of a sum of all contributing electromagnetic wave functions. The results show that the scaling behavior of multilayer configuration was 6 orders of magnitude higher than that achieved by the biological system.
