Abstract
The shape of the plasma plume induced by KrF-laser irradiation of Y-Ba -Cu-O, Cu-O, and Cu targets in O-2 and N-2 atmosphere was investigated by time-integrated photography. The dependence on laser fluence, spot size, and pressure of the ambient gas was studied. Special emphasis w as put on the ablation of YBCO in O-2 atmosphere under experimental co nditions that are typical for thin-film deposition.
