Abstract
This work is devoted to the study of the micrometer-sized particles ejected after pulsed laser ablation of a graphite target. The motion of these part icles is followed from the target surface up to the deposited carbon film s urface by fast imaging of the plasma plume and by image processing of optic al photographies of various deposited carbon films. The influence of the la ser fluence on the particle motion and on the size of the deposited particl es are presented for laser fluence ranging 10-5000 J/cm(2). (C) 1999 Elsevi er Science B.V.
