Pulsed Laser Deposition PLD Explained With Animations

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a technique that allows to prepare thin films of a variety of materials. In this method the target material is irradiated with laser in short pulses, creating a plume of plasma. Some of the extracted material then deposits on the substrate, forming a thin film. The properties of the film depend on the deposition parameters such as the temperature, environment, pulse length, radiation intensity, deposition time, distance between the target and the substrate etc. In this video we explain this technique in more detail with the help of 3D animations.

Thank you! I am about to start my phd in thin film growth and this video is my starting point.

[@CaptainCorrosion]

Awesome! Good luck in your study!

[@jeyasaboor9043]

Hi, I and doing Ms_chemistry ..I need your help .o want to work on ND-YAG laser for the synthesis of polymeric nanocomposites.but I am not confused to choose best polymer for this synthesis and medium also ..can you suggest me please I will be thankful

[@mervatmostfa78]

great please, what is the LASER source characteristics, and price ?

[@annatwitto6778]

Thank you so much for the comprehensive video. A lot of content on thin film deposition is created by Hindi-speaking educators... so here I am thinking that I hear a Hindi accent all the while... and then I see University of Tartu! Never jump to assumptions LOL!

[@CaptainCorrosion]

We are glad to know that we managed to trick you into watching a video with an Estonian accent xD

[@WabuhWabuh]

can you polarize the substrate?

[@CaptainCorrosion]

Why not? Just add a power supply into your experiment and lead the wires into the vacuum chamber and connect them to the substrate and a counter electrode.

[@physicslover1950]

I wonder why this beautiful channel is so underrated please don't leave and make more videos come on captian corrosion you can do it

[@CaptainCorrosion]

We are currently setting up the Demo Lab, where we carry out prototyping and lots of experiments. Some of those will also reach the channel here at some point!

[@sudeephalder5077]

I have a question that why we can't use any continuous laser beam instead of pulsed laser for deposition????? kindly reply...

[@1earnwithme]

Pulsed lasers offer precise control, high ablation efficiency, and reduced thermal damage, making them suitable for depositing a wide range of materials with controlled thickness and properties

Thank you very much! Great video! (Loved the music haha)

excellent video, thanks

[@CaptainCorrosion]

Thanks for watching and also for the positive feedback!

Thanks for your great explanation

[@CaptainCorrosion]

Thanks for watching!

[@AsifKhan-kc2rg]

Can anyone help me how I can choose substrate for the thin film plz

[@indianblockbusters5106]

Helped me a lot.thank you

[@mohammedkadhim8906]

this video interesting thank you

[@CaptainCorrosion]

Thanks for watching!

[@shrikrishnaclasseschopta]

great

[@nirolf12]

Found the channel from a former student of yours, great videos! Really helpful!

[@madnus8925]

In different sources, this method is said to be faster than others as an advantage, but it is mentioned that it is slow in this video, what do you think?

[@madnus8925]

They are saying that high quality materials can be produced in 10-15 min

[@CaptainCorrosion]

@@madnus8925 Aye but "high quality" means completely different things for different applications and the quality of deposited films obviously also depends on the system that is used. So it comes down to the system, the application and deposition parameters. For instance, if you have a powerful laser, then you can deposit more material over a shorter period of time and the deposited film may be excellent for a specific application but not so good for something else.

Thanks!

[@nahashonosinde9163]

Awesome video.

[@CaptainCorrosion]

Thank you!

[@selectionbuddy]

Thank you sir

[@mamatabehera7678]

Nice explained sir....

[@cssaziado]

Hello, there. Can I use this video in a presentation of PLD? Thank you!

[@CaptainCorrosion]

Only via direct link to the video, where you show it online during the presentation.

[@masamel6780]

Excellent job . tank you.

[@hassenriahi1882]

what kind of software used here !!!!

[@CaptainCorrosion]

The Estonian accent was natural! But otherwise just 3D and video editing programs.

[@_special7282]

I appreciate that ♥️🥺

[@Varun86306]

Nice 👍

[@abhiram836]

Thank you 💕

I’ll be working with PLD soon, looks exciting. Thanks for the overview

[@CaptainCorrosion]

You are welcome!
