Effects of cross-magnetic field on thin film preparation by pulsed Nd/YAG laser deposition

Laser Ablation of Copper Alloy under Varying Environmental Conditions to Achieve Purpose-Built Surface Structures

“…This study investigates plasma expansion in TMF to understand plasma dynamics [11], plume species spectrum intensity, plume refinement [28][29][30], and plasma instabilities [31]. EUV lithographic sources, debris reduction, thin film-deposition, nanoparticle synthesis, surface alterations, and LIBS detection-limits enhancement are key applications [32][33][34]. Externally applied TMF may influence plasma characteristics (optical spectrum intensity, T e and n e ) and micro/nano surface structure.…”

Varying magnetic field strength as an effective approach to boost up the plasma signal in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

“…The LIP interaction with magnetic field can initiate various physical phenomena including, emission enhancement, restricted plasma free expansion, plasma instabilities, Joule heating effect, plasma confinement, conversion of thermal energy of plasma into kinetic energy, which are accountable for increasing the electron number density and temperature in laser-generated plasma [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The subject has significant utilizations in numerous extents like in extreme ultra-violet (EUV) lithographic sources, debris mitigation, thin film deposition, nanoparticle synthetization, surface modifications and LIBS detection-limits enhancement [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. The existence of magnetic field is proposed to effectively enhance the plasma parameters including plume signal strength, plasma lifetime, electron number density and electron temperature [ 33 ].…”

Effects of Surface Coating on Cylinder Rods Prepared Using Sputtering Deposition Method with Modulated Magnetic Field

“…We have studied thin-film preparation using plasma processing techniques including the use of hard coatings, such as TiN, TiC, WC, cBN, and CN. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] To improve the properties of superhard material surfaces on long cylinder rods, hard materials such as tungsten, carbon, and titanium were prepared on a carbide steel cylinder rod by a new magnetron sputtering deposition method using a modulated magnetic field. During the deposition, plasma was generated between the cylinder rod anode substrate and the cylinder pipe targets, and a modulated magnetic field was used to improve the axial and radial uniformities of the film and deposition rate.…”
