[labnetwork] PLD growth of new materials

[Saba Sadeghi]

Dear colleagues,

I was hoping to get your input on growth of new oxide-materials with PLD.

One of our users wants to grow a crystal structure with PLD with a target that is composed of In/Cu/V/Ox. Since there is not much research about PLD growth of this material we are not sure what laser energy-density would be suitable for ablation of this composition and thus, I am afraid we might potentially decompose the target and form toxic materials such as CuO or V2O5.

I was wondering if you ever come across such situations and how do you come about choosing the laser energy-density for ablation when unsure?!

As always I really appreciate your help,


Best,
Saba
