The characterization of a plasma plume is a key issue in laser ablation and deposition studies. The formation, composition and propagation of laser-produced plasmas used for pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of CN have been studied under film growth conditions. The plume was generated by focusing 1064 nm, 9 ns pulses from Nd:YAG laser on carbon target under nitrogen ambient. We investigated the different species, such as CII, CI, C 2 , NII and CN, in laser ablated CN plasma using optical emission spectroscopy. The spectral characteristics of the plasmas were measured to determine the plasma properties as gas pressure was changed from 10 −5 to 90 mTorr. The intensities of molecular species did not depend on gas ambient whereas ion intensities did. The vibrational temperature shows dependence with gas pressure.
Fascisms and Fictions. "Blue of noon" and "The Red Carnation"
Bataille' s reflections and his commentary on "Red Carnation" show that he
could fictionalise his theory of excess and death as part of fascism's appeal (see the 1936 "Blue of noon") — where Vittorini stops short of such insight.
Giono's "Bestiasse": of Creativity
The possibilities of speech and literature can be explored from the perspective of the relationship between man and beast; Giono's collection of tales centered on animal forms, "Le Bestiaire", which culminate with the "imaginary, thank goodness" "Bestiasse", are based on such an exploration, showing the relationship to be the principle of creativity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
