Abstract

Photoluminescence spectroscopy of the plasma plume during plasma-assisted laser deposition of YBa2Cu3O7-x was performed. The spectrum in the range of 355-900 nm was measured at several spatial positions using an optical multichannel analyzer. It was found that both atomic and molecular components were present. Rich emission lines of O, O+, Y, Y+, Ba, Ba+, and Cu were observed, from which the plasma temperature could be estimated. Cu+ emission was conspicuously absent. The mechanism of the plasma process and its relevance to thin-film formation is discussed.
