We describe a simple experimental apparatus for laser ablation of barium monohydride
(BaH) molecules and the study of their rovibrational spectra relevant to direct laser cooling …

By Monte Carlo simulation the Knudsen layer in front of a surface from which atoms
evaporate is studied. Evaporation into a vacuum is simulated by means of an evaporation …

The gas flow of particles laser desorbed from an elemental target into a vacuum is studied
by Monte Carlo simulation. Pulsed desorption off a finite area is modeled; this is possible by …

A Langmuir probe has been used as a diagnostic of the temporally evolving electron
component within a laser ablated Cu plasma expanding into vacuum, for an incident laser …

Laser atomic absorption was used to measure the rubidium isotopes in a laser-induced
plasma. An 85Rb/87Rb isotope ratio of 2.7±0.2 was determined in solid calcium carbonate …

Emission spectroscopy is used to determine the spatial and temporal evolution of the
electronic temperature (T e) and density (N e) of the plasma generated by laser ablation in …

To determine experimental conditions suitable for isotope analysis, we studied the plume
dynamics of uranium. A uranium oxide sample was ablated by 2nd harmonic radiation from …

We present spatial characteristics of the lithium fluoride plasma generated by the
fundamental and second harmonic of a Nd: YAG laser. The plume emission has been …

To determine experimental conditions suitable for isotope analysis, we studied the plume
dynamics of uranium. A uranium oxide sample was ablated by 2nd harmonic radiation from …

The temporal evolution of the ablation plume of cerium was investigated by absorption
spectroscopy. Cerium oxide pellets were ablated in a helium atmosphere by second …
