The formation of diamond-like carbon film at atmospheric pressure by the pulsed laser/plasma hybrid deposition method

Silver nanoparticle films by flowing gas atmospheric pulsed laser deposition and application to surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy

“…While understanding the potential issues of APLD from standpoint of fundamental science and technological impact, previously, in 2004, the first research was conducted in this direction 11 . Looking into the potential impact of this study, later on, in the last two decades, tremendous research were further projected by the scientific community with the aim to bring the nanofabrication method one step closer for practical applications and interesting results were reported 11‐22 . Jadhav et al 12 performed a comparative study of graphite films produced in vacuum and air with the substrate at 50 and 2 to 3 mm, respectively, and laser fluence values of 10 and 20 J cm −2 .…”

“…11 Looking into the potential impact of this study, later on, in the last two decades, tremendous research were further projected by the scientific community with the aim to bring the nanofabrication method one step closer for practical applications and interesting results were reported. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Jadhav et al 12 performed a comparative study of graphite films produced in vacuum and air with the substrate at 50 and 2 to 3 mm, respectively, and laser fluence values of 10 and 20 J cm −2 . A nanocrystalline graphite film with superior field emission behavior was obtained in air compared to an amorphous film formed in vacuum.…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9] Different approaches for the synthesis of these NP films exist today and have been productively applied; however, APLD emerges as the most recent and striking gas-phase approach utilized for nanofabrication. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] For laser ablation at atmospheric pressure, a high-density plasma (varying from n e 1.59 to 2.27× 10 18 cm −3 ) is formed for various ambient environments compared to a free expansion. 14 Thus for APLD, the density of laser-produced plasma plume is several orders of magnitude higher than encountered for a low-pressure plasma in vacuum or background gas.…”

“…They have used helium or an argon hot torch plasma to heat and carry the laser ablated material to the substrate. Nedyalkov et al 19 performed PLD at atmospheric pressure and produced porous‐structured Au films using laser fluence 4 J cm −2 on different substrates positioned at 5 mm from the ablation spot. Similarly, Ag NPs were deposited on glass slides with ablation in open air conditions using the laser pulses of 532 nm and pulse duration of 50 ns 20 .…”

Metal Nanoparticle Film Deposition by Femtosecond Laser Ablation at Atmospheric Pressure

“…In that study crystalline, fractal TiO 2 nanostructures were deposited with high coverage and the nanostructure properties were shown to depend on the laser fluence and target substrate distance used. There are also several reports of APLD using various atmospheric plasma assist methods [26][27][28].…”
