Plasma dynamics study by fast imaging and Sm1−xNdxNiO3 thin film deposition

Plume study by ion probe and morphology control during pulsed laser deposition of Sm1−xNdxNiO3

“…However a few works about the plume dynamics has been done [8][9][10]. Our findings join the previous results on the effect of the plume dynamics on the properties of the deposited film [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…The schematic of our PLD experimental set-up was already illustrated in our previous work and will only briefly be reported here [8,9]. Therefore, the target was mounted in the vacuum system with a base pressure of 3.0 × 10 −6 mbar, and irradiated at different oxygen pressures with KrF excimer laser ( = 248 nm, = 25 ns) at 45 • incidence with an energy of 120 mJ.…”

Plasma-Oxygen Interaction During Thin Films Deposition by Laser Ablation: Determination of the Interaction Pressure Threshold and Effect on the Thin Films Propertiese

“…The schematic of our experimental set-up have already illustrated in our previous work [5]. Two cylindrical lenses are used to focus a KrF (λ= 248 nm, τ= 25 ns) laser beam on the rotating target at 2 Jcm -2 of laser fluence and into different oxygen pressures.…”
