Abstract
We report an experimental characterization of the charged species produced in excimer laser ablation of a borocarbide target by using time-of-flight m ass spectrometry. The observed TOF distribution show a double peak structur e. Avery interesting aspect of our experimental results is the observation of an ion spatial distribution characterized by the presence of heavier ion s in the plume center and the lighter ones at plume edges.
