Abstract
The effects of a cross-magnetic field on preparing thin films by pulsed Nd/ YAG laser deposition have been investigated. Two-dimensional emission profi les of the plasma plume were detected with an ICCD camera, and the shape of the plasma plume in the cross-magnetic held was changed. The density of th e droplets on the substrate in the cross-magnetic field decreased in compar ison with those in a non-cross-magnetic field. These experimental results s uggested that a high-quality and large-area uniform thin film can be prepar ed by using a cross-magnetic field. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All righ ts reserved.
