“…We observed that a high positive correlation exists between the deduced average charge states and the plasma temperatures. This result is in agreement with plasma standard theoretical models, for example, local thermodynamic equilibrium or collisional radiative [89], where average charge state or ion fractional populations can be easily computed in the case of a homogenous plasma, for given electron temperature and atom density (e.g. see Figure 5 of [90]).…”

Laser Ablation - From Fundamentals to Applications

During the last decade, our groups have performed systematic experimental studies on the characterization of plasma plumes generated by laser ablation in various temporal regimes (ns, ps, fs) on materials ranging from simple metals (Al, Cu, Mn, Ni, In, W, …) to more complex compounds (ceramics, chalcogenide glasses, ferrites). Optical (fast imaging and space-and time-resolved emission spectroscopy) and electrical (mainly Langmuir probe) methods have been applied to experimentally investigate the dynamics of the plasma plume and its constituents. Influence of the target physical (thermodynamic and electrical) parameters on the plasma dynamics has been studied. A mathematical correlation between the local and global plasma parameters and the physical properties of the target was proposed for the first time. Peculiar behaviors like plume splitting or plasma oscillations have been evidenced for high laser fluence ablation in vacuum. Along with results from the literature, our findings provide convincing arguments for the existence of multiple double-layers in the laser ablation plasma plume, in a scenario including two-temperature electrons. New fractal-based theoretical approaches have been developed to qualitatively and quantitatively account for the observed phenomena. The space and time evolution of expansion velocity, particle number, current density and plasma temperature were theoretically investigated.

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), Part I: Review of Basic Diagnostics and Plasma—Particle Interactions: Still-Challenging Issues within the Analytical Plasma Community

2010

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has become a very popular analytical method in the last decade in view of some of its unique features such as applicability to any type of sample, practically no sample preparation, remote sensing capability, and speed of analysis. The technique has a remarkably wide applicability in many fields, and the number of applications is still growing. From an analytical point of view, the quantitative aspects of LIBS may be considered its Achilles' heel, first due to the complex nature of the laser–sample interaction processes, which depend upon both the laser characteristics and the sample material properties, and second due to the plasma–particle interaction processes, which are space and time dependent. Together, these may cause undesirable matrix effects. Ways of alleviating these problems rely upon the description of the plasma excitation-ionization processes through the use of classical equilibrium relations and therefore on the assumption that the laser-induced plasma is in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). Even in this case, the transient nature of the plasma and its spatial inhomogeneity need to be considered and overcome in order to justify the theoretical assumptions made. This first article focuses on the basic diagnostics aspects and presents a review of the past and recent LIBS literature pertinent to this topic. Previous research on non-laser-based plasma literature, and the resulting knowledge, is also emphasized. The aim is, on one hand, to make the readers aware of such knowledge and on the other hand to trigger the interest of the LIBS community, as well as the larger analytical plasma community, in attempting some diagnostic approaches that have not yet been fully exploited in LIBS.

“…The Pulsed laser-induced plasmas (LIPs) has a intensive application in material processing, thin film deposition, environmental monitoring, biomedical studies, military safety usage, art restoration/conservation and metal analysis, which is being produced after laser irradiance on the surface of metals and is of a great interest since last few decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In LIPS method, a micro-plasma is produced in nanosecond when highly intense laser pulse interacts with a target material; resultantly vaporization take place and thus plasma produced expand along the path of distribution in the form of vapor plume.…”

Silver (Ag) plasma generated by second harmonics (532 nm) using Nd:YAG laser has been investigated at 17.6 mJ and 88.6 mJ energy level. The spatial behavior of the END and Electron Temperature (ET) was measured at ambient air pressures at different energy level and distance ranging from 0-4.5 mm form the target metal. The ET's were found to be varies from 17895 K to 10593 K, while END was found to be 2.229  10 15 to 6.44  10 14 cm -3 and 1.76  10 16 to 1.893  10 15 cm -3 for 17.6 mJ and 88.6 mJ energy, respectively. The relationship of END and ET found directly related to laser irradiance, while they were inverse to the distance from the target material surface to laser beam source.
