IR laser-induced metal ablation and dielectric breakdown in benzene

IR and near IR laser ablative deposition of amorphous titanium coats containing nanocrystalline grains of titanium and titanium suboxides

“…Similar plumes were previously observed in the IR laser ablation of other metals and ascribed to the transient formation of metal atoms and ions [35,36].…”

Reactive deposition of laser ablated FeS1−xparticles on a copper surface

“…Similar plumes of excited fragments during IR laser ablations were previously observed for the IR laser ablation of metals 51 due to the transient formation of metal atoms and ions. 52 The ablation leads to the development of a crater and the deposition of ejected particles on the adjacent Ta, silica and Cu substrates (Fig. 2), where they form layers of different appearances.…”

Decomposition of Benzene during Impacts in N2-dominated Atmospheres

“…In contrast, our paper focuses on the products of benzene decomposition in an artificial atmosphere with strictly controlled N 2 and H 2 O content. As shown above, higher H 2 O content at the beginning leads progressively toward more CO and CO 2 in the mixture, likening the experiments to those focused on environmental chemistry (Santos et al 2010).…”

“…This scenario of benzene in the atmosphere or in the impacting body being decomposed into HCN and C 2 H 2 has been described for the first time in terms of planetary chemistry. The decomposition of benzene and PAHs by laser radiation has been studied in terms of environmental chemistry as a viable source for gas phase carbonization of organic molecules (Santos et al 2010). CO and CO 2 are typical main products of these studies (Tsuboi et al 1994), which are mainly focused on the utilization of laser radiation as a means of safely Figure 10.…”
