Description
In this contribution we study the effect of the laser fluence on the stoichiometry and morphology of Sm1-xNdxNiO3 thin films deposited by KrF laser ablation into vacuum. Using an ion probe, the plasma plume front velocity was determined and related to the films properties. Furthermore, the ablated mass was measured and the ablation threshold was determined. Thereby, the optimal laser fluence was set to be in the range of 1 – 2 Jcm-2.
