Formation and laser-induced-fluorescence study of SiO+ ions produced by laser ablation of Si in oxygen gas

Abstract

Reaction between nitrogen gas and silicon species during pulsed laser ablation

IP determination and 1+1 REMPI spectrum of SiO at 210–220 nm in an ion trap: Implications for SiO+ ion trap loading

“…Several ab initio calculation studies predicted [12][13][14] rich excited electronic state structure of SiO + . Ion chemistry of Si + /O2 system and physics of ablation of SiO was studied in several works [15][16][17], stimulated by interest in Si clusters and vapor deposition.…”

Interaction of ambient nitrogen gas and laser ablated carbon plume: Formation of CN

“…[6,11,[19][20][21]. Among all these techniques OES is preferred mainly because of its ease of operation and of non-intrusive nature.…”

Simultaneous production of spin-polarized ions/electrons based on two-photon ionization of laser-ablated metallic atoms

“…9,10 In this letter, we demonstrate the simultaneous production of spin-polarized ions/electrons based on two-color, two-photon ionization of laser-ablated Sr atoms, which will serve as an important cornerstone toward the construction of a spin-polarized dual ion/electron source. Although the fact that alkaline-earth atoms have rather high melting points may seem to result in a low number density of atoms, the difficulty can be easily overcome by the use of the laserablation technique, which has been employed as a simple and compact atom/molecular source for the various spectroscopic studies.…”
