Fast imaging of laser ablation of cerium: Dependence of plasma plume dynamics and structure on native oxide growth

Fast imaging of laser ablation of cerium: Dependence of plasma plume dynamics and structure on native oxide growth

We have imaged the evolution of plasma following nanosecond pulsed laser ablation of cerium in air with sub-10 ns resolution. We find the ablated plasma plume expansion and shape to be strongly dependent on the time after mechanical polishing of the sample surface. After an initial shock front commo...
