Pulsed laser deposition of BiSrCaCuO on MgO (100) using Q-switched Nd:YAG nanosecond laser operating at λ= 1064 nm (ns-PLD) and mode-locked Ti:Sa femtosecond laser at λ= 785 nm (fs-PLD) were performed. Rough surface with spheriodal morphology is the general microstructure of the deposited material from both nanosecond and femtosecond laser ablation. Femtosecond PLD resulted to granular morphology containing both BSCCO phase and rod-like Cu 2 O grains. Unlike ns-PLD, fs-PLD produced polycrystalline films even without heat treatment. These results indicate that two distinct ablation characteristic for ns-PLD and fs-PLD of BSCCO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
