Abstract:Laser ablation of a solid target has wide applications in both science and technology. 1 In 1980s, we have witnessed the advent of the era of nanotechnology with the discovery of C 60 by laser ablation of a graphite target. 2 Besides, diverse metal and semiconductor clusters were produced by laser ablation in gas phase 3 and a variety of multi-element thin films with novel properties were realized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). 1 In particular, laser ablation has been proved to be a powerful method to repla… Show more
