"Laser deposition" refers to a manufacturing technique where a laser beam is used to precisely melt and deposit material onto a surface.
Full definition
In laser deposition, researchers vaporize a polyethylene oxide with focused lasers, allowing the resulting gas to deposit on a silicon wafer.
That's because the dense coating on the anode was formed by a technique called pulsed
laser deposition, which is difficult to do large - scale on a commercial assembly line.
One way would have been to use an inflow of gaseous fluoride to coat the surface of the KMgF3 thin film, but instead the team discovered a safer route to fabricating it with pulsed
laser deposition — a way of layering thin films of chemicals onto surfaces through irradiation with a focused laser beam.
Dr. Kaspar's research interests include the epitaxial growth (via oxygen - plasma - assisted molecular beam epitaxy or pulsed
laser deposition) and structural characterization of metallic and metal oxide films.
The researchers synthesized the material using pulsed
laser deposition (PLD), a method for depositing single crystal films with atomic layer precision.
His film deposition methods of choice are molecular beam epitaxy and off - axis pulsed
laser deposition, assisted by activated oxygen from an oxygen plasma generator or ozone.
Combinatorial depositions with intentional and well - controlled continuous gradients in process parameters (composition, temperature, film thickness, nanoparticle size etc): wide range of thin film chemistries in separate chambers (metals, oxides, nitrides, sulfides); physical vapor deposition techniques (sputtering, pulsed
laser deposition); different substrates and supports (glass, metals, glassy carbon, etc).
(b) The ability to grow high quality film and bulk samples by a variety of growth techniques including sputtering, pulse
laser deposition (PLD), evaporation, bulk ceramic processing, hydrothermal growth and HIP and Hot Pressing processing can be done under an extremely broad range of temperature and oxygen partial pressure as suggested by theory and experiment.
