The reactions between Ni+ and O3, O2, N2, CO2 and H2O; NiO+ and O, O3 and CO; and NiO2+ and O3 were studied at 294 K using the pulsed laser ablation of a nickel metal target in a fast flow tube, with mass spectrometric detection of Ni+ and NiO+.

Pulsed laser ablation of TiO2 at 355 nm and 532 nm has been investigated using an angleand time-resolved quadrupole mass spectrometric technique. The major ablated species include O (m/e = 16), O2 (m/e = 32), Ti (m/e = 48), TiO (m/e = 64) and TiO2 (m/e = 80). The time-of-flight (TOF) spectra of ablated species are measured for the ionic and neutral ablated species, and they can be fitted by a Maxwell – Boltzmann (M – B) distribution with a center-of-mass velocity. The measured angular distributions of the ionic species (O+ and Ti+) and the neutral species (O and Ti) can be fitted with cos⁡nθ and a cos⁡θ + (1−a)cos⁡nθ, respectively. In addition, a continuous wave oxygen molecular beam is introduced into the ablated plume, and the enhancement of the signal intensities of TiO is observed. It implies that the ablated Ti atoms/ions species can react with ambient oxygen molecules in the gas phase. In the meanwhile, the physicochemical mechanism of pulsed laser ablation of TiO2 is discussed.

Pulsed-laser ablation has been widely used to produce high-quality thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ on a range of substrate materials. The nonequilibrium nature of the process allows congruent deposition of oxides with complex stoichiometrics. In the high power density regime produced by the UV excimer lasers the ablated species includes a mixture of neutral atoms, molecules and ions. All these species play an important role in thin-film deposition. However, changes in the deposition parameters have been shown to affect the microstructure of thin YBa2Cu3O7-δ films. The formation of metastable configurations is possible because at the low substrate temperatures used, only shortrange rearrangement on the substrate surface can occur. The parameters associated directly with the laser ablation process, those determining the nature of the process, e g. thermal or nonthermal volatilization, have been classified as ‘primary parameters'. Other parameters may also affect the microstructure of the thin film. In this paper, the effects of these ‘secondary parameters' on the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-δ films will be discussed. Examples of 'secondary parameters' include the substrate temperature and the oxygen partial pressure during deposition.

While doping is crucial for numerous technological applications, its control remains difficult especially when the material is reduced down to the nanometric scale. We suggest a new way to dope nanoparticles using laser ablation in liquids.
