ANALYSIS OF PHASES IN THE Y-BA-CU-O SYSTEM BY LIMS TECHNIQUE LASER-INDUCED ION MASS-SPECTROMETRY

Laser-induced ion mass spectrometry (LIMS) was used for the analysis o f oxide phases in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system. The formation of polynuclear i ons (clusters) as a result of laser sputtering of oxides was examined. The possibility of quantitative phase analysis of inhomogeneous oxide materials in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system by the LIMS technique is demonstrat ed.
