Pulsed laser ablation of TiO2 at 355 nm and 532 nm has been investigated using an angleand time-resolved quadrupole mass spectrometric technique. The major ablated species include O (m/e = 16), O2 (m/e = 32), Ti (m/e = 48), TiO (m/e = 64) and TiO2 (m/e = 80). The time-of-flight (TOF) spectra of ablated species are measured for the ionic and neutral ablated species, and they can be fitted by a Maxwell – Boltzmann (M – B) distribution with a center-of-mass velocity. The measured angular distributions of the ionic species (O+ and Ti+) and the neutral species (O and Ti) can be fitted with cos⁡nθ and a cos⁡θ + (1−a)cos⁡nθ, respectively. In addition, a continuous wave oxygen molecular beam is introduced into the ablated plume, and the enhancement of the signal intensities of TiO is observed. It implies that the ablated Ti atoms/ions species can react with ambient oxygen molecules in the gas phase. In the meanwhile, the physicochemical mechanism of pulsed laser ablation of TiO2 is discussed.

Abstract.A time-resolved diagnostic technique was used to investigate the emission spectra from the plasmas produced by 1.06 μm, 10 ns pulsed laser ablation of semiconductor GaAs. The characteristics of the species in plasma produced at different ambient pressure were analyzed. The full width at half maximum of the spectral line was measured and analyzed according to obtained spectra of the excited atoms; several line broadening factors were estimated according to our experimental conditions and the results indicate that the Stark broadening is the main broadening mechanism. Under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium, the time evolution of electron number density was deduced from the Stark broadening measurements.
