Abstract
Electron Auger spectroscopy is used to study the distribution of Y, Ba, Cu, and O in the surface layers of YBa2Cu3O7-x, ceramics under the effect of l aser pulses of varying power at room temperature. Mass transfer processes i n the surface region of ceramic material are determined by the radiation en ergy density and the diameter of the laser beam within the ablation zone. I t is shown that the formation of stoichiometric surface layers is possible when special laser treatment conditions are used.
