Modelling of Plasma Temperatures and Densities in Laser Ablation Plumes of Different Metals by Matthew Hill, Erik Wagenaars

“…The evolution of key parameters such as plasma density and temperature is investigated when the target material is changed from titanium to tantalum, zinc, copper, aluminium and gold. It was found that the atomic number of the material significantly affected the electron temperature and mass density of the subsequent plasma plume, with both parameters increasing with atomic number, whilst other parameters including the mass density, thermal conductivity and melting temperature did not affect the electron temperature or particle density of the plumes. …”
