An approach to the ejection mechanisms of Li atoms from pulsed excimer laser ablation of a LiNbO3 target
نویسنده
چکیده
A nonequilibrium kinetic model is used for predicting the time evolution of the Li atom concentrations ~ground and excited states! in the plasma produced by excimer laser ablation of a LiNbO3 target. The model predicts a very high ionization degree ~;0.97! that agrees well with the one obtained experimentally ~;1!. These results together with the prediction of high ~and close to local thermodynamic equilibrium! population densities of the electronically excited Li upper energy levels provide an indirect support for an electronic rather than thermal ablation mechanism of Li atoms.

متن کاملStudy of laser ablation using nano-second laser pulses
In this paper, the laser ablation process based on the irradiation of nanosecond pulsed lasers on a copper target surface in the presence of Helium gas is studied. The dynamical behaviors of the generated plasma in the helium gas and evaporated copper at the atmospheric pressure are examined using a laser pulse, laser wavelength of and intensity of 7×1010W/cm2. A one-dimensional thermal model ...
متن کاملSynthesis of spherical luminescent particulate coatings
In this communication, we show the feasibility of the pulsed laser ablation technique to make very thin, uniform luminescent coatings on particulate systems. To deposit continuous particulate coatings, the laser-induced plume from the target comes in contact with an agitated bed of core particles ~size 1 mm!. The pressure and nature of the background gas ~inert or active! controls the cluster s...
متن کاملEffects of pulsed lasers on agar model simulation of the arterial wall.
Coronary laser angioplasty is limited by a high rate of dissection and the occurrence of abrupt closure and perforation. The aim of this study was to visualize the mechanical effects of pulsed lasers on two chamber in vitro models. These models consisted of 1 or 2 agar layers and calcium carbonate inclusions (1-layer model) or lipid (2-layer model) simulating lipid or calcified tissue. The incl...
متن کاملOptical Properties of Silicon Nanocrystallites Prepared by Excimer Laser Ablation in Inert Gas
Recently, surface passivated Si nanocrystallites are prepared by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) of Si target in hydrogen gas. Plume analysis during PLA is one of the available methods to clarify a mechanism of surface hydrogenation. We observed plume emission by timeand space-resolved spectroscopy. The dominant species were exited neutral Si atoms and SiH species when the delay time is longer than...
