摘要
The effect of inert gas ionization on the dynamics of a laser ablation plume expanding through a background inert gas is studied. Charge transfer reactions between ablated ions and neutral background gas atoms yield to the formation of a charged layer on the plume expansion front. The energy lost by ablated ions when the plume is slowed down is calculated. The observed microstructure differences between carbon films prepared by pulsed laser deposition in helium, where the ionization mechanism is absent and respectively in argon, where it is present, are well correlated to model predictions.
