Dynamics of Charges of Electron and Ion Flows in a Laser Plasma Source for the Formation of Nanostructures
摘要
Based on conducted experiments, causes have been found for distorting the shape of the ion flux pulse supplied to the substrate in a laser plasma source for applying nanocoatings at low accelerating potentials; ways of their elimination are suggested. The design capacity of a laser plasma source, which is ~40 nF, has been determined, which is important for the conduct of subsequent experiments. It is shown that in eliminating the ion current pulse- shape distortion, a more uniform ion flow is supplied to the substrate surface, which results in an increase of the efficiency of the process of applying thin uniform nanocoatings.
