Characterization of Carbon Plasma Evolution Using Laser Ablation TOF Mass Spectrometry

Abstract: In this work, a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer has been used to investigate the distribution of intermediate species and formation process of carbon clusters. The graphite sample was ablated by Nd:YAG laser (532 nm and 1064 nm). The results indicate that the maximum size distribution shifted towards small cluster ions as the laser fluence increased, which happened because of the fragmentation of larger clusters in the hot plume. The temporal evolution of ions was measured by varying the delay time of t… Show more

“…This can be attributed to the fact that EBA‐8CB has a lower ablation threshold, leading to a higher atomization of the target, prompt ionization, and further dissociation of large clusters in the ablation plume. As a result, there is a higher intensity of lighter species that flow outside the irradiated substrate 38 (see Figure S20).…”

“…The reason for the appearance of C 5+ and C 6+ ions at high fluence can be the large values of their ionization potentials [36]. Previously, singly charged low mass carbon cluster ions, C n 1+ (n = 3, 5, 7) and singly charged carbon atomic ions were produced by nanosecond pulsed laser ablation of graphite using 532 nm wavelength at the fluence of 1 J cm −2 [37]. In the same experiment, C 3 + and C 2 + ions were recorded using 1064 nm wavelength Nd:YAG laser.…”
