摘要
Nanostructured thin films were deposited by excimer laser ablation of silver targets in controlled atmospheres of He and Ar. The film structural properties were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope imaging. The film growth mechanism was identified as the result of coalescence of nanometric clusters formed during plume flight. Cluster formation involves plume confinement as a consequence of the increased collisional rate among plasma species. Fast photography imaging of the laser-generated silver plasma allowed to identify plasma confinement, shock wave formation and plasma stopping.
