Diamond-like phase formation in an amorphous carbon films prepared by periodic pulsed laser deposition and laser irradiation method

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were fabricated by pulsed laser ablation of a liquid target. During deposition process the growing films were exited by a laser beam irradiation. The films were deposited onto the fused silica using 248 nm KrF eximer laser at room temperature and 10⁻³ mbar pressure. Film irradiation was carried out by the same KrF laser operating periodically between the deposition and excitation regimes. Deposited DLC films were characterized by Raman scattering spectroscopy. The results obtained suggested that laser irradiation intensity has noticeable influence on the structure and hybridization of carbon atoms deposited. For materials deposited at moderate irradiation intensities a very high and sharp peak appeared at 1332 cm⁻¹, characteristic of diamond crystals. At higher irradiation intensities the graphitization of the amorphous films was observed. Thus, at optimal energy density the individual sp³-hybridized carbon phase was deposited inside the amorphous carbon structure. Surface morphology for DLC has been analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicating that more regular diamond cluster formation at optimal additional laser illumination conditions (∼20 mJ per impulse) is possible.     

The mechanism of Landau-Rumer relaxation of thermal and high-frequency phonons in cubic crystals of germanium,silicon, and diamond

Transverse phonon relaxation according to the Landau-Rumer mechanism is considered for an isotropic medium and crystals of germanium, silicon, and diamond possessing a cubic symmetry. The energy of elastic deformation caused by the anharmonicity of vibrations of the cubic crystal lattice is expressed via the second-and third-order moduli of elasticity. Using the known values of these elastic moduli, parameters determining the frequencies of the transverse phonon relaxation in the Landau-Rumer mechanism are evaluated for the germanium, silicon, and diamond crystals. It is shown that the dependence of the relaxation frequency on the wavevector of thermal and high-frequency phonons sharply differs from the classical Landau-Rumer relationship both in the isotropic medium and in the cubic crystals. It is established that the observed peculiarities in the relaxation frequency are related to the angular dependence of the probability of anharmonic scattering and the anisotropy of elastic properties of the germanium, silicon, and diamond crystals. A new method is proposed for the experimental determination of the relaxation frequency of high-frequency phonons as a function of the wavevector using the temperature dependence of the coefficient of absorption of high-frequency ultrasound.     

193-nm laser ablation of CVD diamond and graphite in vacuum: plume analysis and film properties

The pulsed laser ablation of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond and graphite samples in vacuum has been investigated by the use of an ArF excimer laser operating at 5=193 nm. The composition and propagation of both ablation plumes has been probed via wavelength and spatially and temporally resolved measurements of the plume emission and found to be very similar. Electronically excited C atoms and C⁺ and C²⁺ ions are identified among the ablated material. Plume expansion velocities are estimated from time-gated imaging of specific C and C⁺ emissions. Langmuir probe measurements provide further insight into the propagation of the charged components in both ablation plumes. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films grown by 193-nm laser ablation of both target materials on Si substrates maintained at room temperature have been investigated by laser Raman spectroscopy (325 nm and 488 nm excitation) and by both optical and scanning electron microscopy, and their field emission characteristics investigated. Again, similarities outweigh the differences, but DLC films grown from ablation of the diamond target appear to show steeper I/V dependencies once above the threshold voltage for field emission.     

Optical resonator for high-power transverse flow CO2 lasers

A new design of the U-type resonator is described. In this way, a laser beam with symmetrical intensity profile (regarding to a symmetry plane) can be extracted from an active medium that exhibits gain asymmetry along one of the transverse directions. The whole area of the active medium cross-section can be used, and consequently the laser efficiency will be increased. This resonator structure was applied for efficiency power extraction (as a low order TEM modes laser beam) from a DC excited transverse flow CO₂ laser with cylindrical geometry. Although the cross-section area of the discharge was entirely used (including the cathode fall region), a symmetrical intensity profile of the laser beam (regarding to the two orthogonal symmetry planes) was obtained in the near field as well as in the far field; the gain asymmetry along the flow direction was compensated by the gas circulation fluidodynamical circuit with two counterflowing discharge channels. A double-U optical resonator was introduced in order to provide a laser beam with axial symmetry.For the practical construction of these two types of optical resonators we have developed two new types of 90° deflection elements: the first one, which does not reverse the image (and which has the properties of the pentaprism), and the second one, which rotates the image with 90° angle. Both elements exhibit good focusability if they are equipped with two concave mirrors.

Structure formation in excimer laser ablation of stretched poly(ethylene therephthalate) (PET): the influence of scanning ablation

Multiple pulse laser ablation of stretched PET is performed with an ArF excimer laser (193 nm) in order to produce micro channels. The surface structure remaining after "scanning ablation", in which the sample is moved during irradiation, is compared to the known results upon "static ablation". We observed that the debris contribution is enhanced upon scanning ablation, which has a major impact for the channels used in micro-fluidic applications. A more fundamental change of the channel floor structure, as seen by SEM, occurs at high fluences and short mask lengths. The channel floor structure originates from the structure on the irradiated ramp at the end of the channel. The "scanning structure" appears only if the irradiated end ramp forms an angle higher than 10.55(ǂ.15)° with the non-irradiated sample surface. The angle of light incidence is not responsible for the structure changes, in agreement with literature reports. Other possible mechanisms are briefly discussed.     

First-principles electron dynamics control simulation of diamond under femtosecond laser pulse train irradiation

A real-time and real-space time-dependent density functional is applied to simulate the nonlinear electron-photon interactions during shaped femtosecond laser pulse train ablation of diamond. Effects of the key pulse train parameters such as the pulse separation, spatial/temporal pulse energy distribution and pulse number per train on the electron excitation and energy absorption are discussed. The calculations show that photon-electron interactions and transient localized electron dynamics can be controlled including photon absorption, electron excitation, electron density, and free electron distribution by the ultrafast laser pulse train.     

Laser polishing of diamond plates

Results are reported on laser polishing of 150–400-μm-thick free-standing diamond films with either a copper vapor laser (510 nm wavelength) or an ArF excimer laser (193 nm wavelength). Studies were focused on three particular goals. First, we aimed at a choice of optimum conditions for laser polishing of thick diamond films. It was shown that the laser polishing conditions and the resulting surface roughness were controlled by varying the angle of incidence of a scanning laser beam and by polishing time. Second, the laser ablation technique was applied to remove a defective layer from the “substrate” side of the diamond plates in order to reduce optical losses due to absorption in this layer. Third, the structure of the laser-graphitized diamond surface was studied using UV, visible, and IR optical spectroscopy techniques in the course of the “step-by-step” oxidative removal of the graphitic layer with increasing temperature of the oxidation in ambient air. Once the graphitic layer was removed, the optical transmission in the UV-visible-IR spectral range of the diamond films polished under optimum conditions was measured and compared with the optical transmission of the mechanically polished diamond films. It was shown that the optical quality (in the long-wave infrared region) of the laser-polished diamond plates was sufficient to reach the transmittance value very close to the theoretical limit.
