La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) thin films have been deposited on (100) MgO substrates using pulsed laser ablation-deposition (PLAD). The crystallographic orientation of LSCO was found to be dependent on the surface treatment of (100) MgO prior to deposition. PLAD deposition parameters were optimized to yield LSCO films with an RMS surface roughness of 40–50 Å. A smooth surface morphology was reproduced as long as the oxygen content of the LSCO target was preserved. Otherwise, “splashing” occurred which resulted in the transfer of condensed particles from molten spherical globules of LSCO from the target to the substrate. Splashing was subsequently eliminated and smooth surface quality was restored after annealing the LSCO target at 550 °C in oxygen for 3 h. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) of the LSCO's plume identified excited atomic cobalt neutrals, excited singly ionized strontium and lanthanum, and excited molecular LaO species. Oxygen interaction with the plume produced no new species. Furthermore, the OES data suggest that the observed LaO molecules were not created by the chemical reaction between La and O2 during ablation, but were ejected directly from the target during the PLAD process.

Understanding the underline fundamental mechanism behind experimental and industrial technologies embodies one of the foundations of the advances and tailoring new materials. With the pulsed laser deposition being one of the key techniques for obtaining complex biocompatible materials with controllable stoichiometry, there is need for experimental and theoretical advancements towards understanding the dynamics of multi component plasmas. Here we investigate the laser ablation process on Cu-Mn-Al and Fe-Mn-Si by means of space-and time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy and fast camera imaging. In a fractal paradigm the space–time homographic transformations were correlated with the global dynamics of the ablation plasmas.

ABSTRACTThe observation of a slow optically excited component in the excimer laser-ablated YBCO plume due to the presence of a biased ring electrode is reported. The temporal dynamics of the plume were investigated by using time-of-flight (TOF) optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Time-resolved emission signals reveal excitation and resultant fluorescence from slow-moving plume species in the presence of the discharge.

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.
