The physical processes of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) change strongly from the initial
light absorption in a target to the final deposition and growth of a film. One of the primary …

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is for many reasons a versatile technique. Since with this
method the energy source is located outside the chamber, the use of ultrahigh vacuum …

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has quickly emerged as a unique tool with which to grow high
quality films of complex chemical compounds. It is estimated that at present the number of …

The laser, as a source of “pure” energy in the form of monochromatic and coherent photons,
is enjoying ever increasing popularity in diverse and broad applications from drilling micron …

Pulsed laser deposition is a highly flexible technique for the fabrication of thin films, and can
in principle be applied to all solid materials including metals, refractory metals and rare …

In experimental science, it is a rare thing for a newly discovered (or rediscovered) synthesis
technique to immediately deliver both enhanced performance and simplicity in use in a field …

Edited by major contributors to the field, this text summarizes current or newly emerging
pulsed laser deposition application areas. It spans the field of optical devices, electronic …

Film-thickness profiles obtained in pulsed-laser deposition are calculated by using the well-
known solution of the gas-dynamic equations which describes the expansion of the plasma …

Pulsed laser ablation is a simple, but versatile, experimental method that finds use as a
means of patterning a very diverse range of materials, and in wide areas of thin film …

The deposition rates of permalloy and Ag are monitored during pulsed laser deposition in
different inert gas atmospheres. Under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, resputtering from the …
