Fundamentals of Laser-Assisted Fabrication of Inorganic and Organic Films

  • Conference paper
Functionalized Nanoscale Materials, Devices and Systems

Abstract

The standard method for producing films by laser-assisted methods, Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) will be reviewed. The films considered are usually inorganic films, but also films of organic materials have been produced. Also the deposition of organic films by MAPLE (Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation), in which the target is replaced by a frozen matrix containing a few per cent film material, will be reviewed.
