Optical spectroscopy of plasma plume induced by pulsed laser deposition of TiO thin films

Transactions of the Materials Research Society of Japan, 28(4), p.1133 - 1136, 2003/12

The epitaxial growth of high quality TiO films has attracted much interest from the viewpoints of basic science and applications. In the synthesis process of TiO films, the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method is widely employed because of its advantage for materials with high melting point. The laser irradiation generates plasmas from Ti bulk targets, and the evaporated Ti particles have interactions with buffer dioxide gas before/after the epitaxial growth. We observed the optical emission spectra from the plumes generated by laser ablation in order to improve on the epitaxial growth under proper conditions. The spectra show dependences of energy densities and wavelengths of the laser. The spectra are investigated for relevancies to the quality of films and crystallographic relationships that were assessed by x-ray diffraction, x-ray pole figures and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy.

Pulsed energy impacts are expected to generate the elastic waves reflecting the elastic properties of impacted substances. Among the generated waves, the surface acoustic waves (SAW) can be more specific to the surface structures and can be used effectively in the characterization of thin films in a non-destructive way. In the present study, pulsed laser impacts were employed to generate SAWs on a thin film and the SAWs are detected with a laser reflection technique. To test the effectiveness of this method, an amorphous carbon films were irradiated with 13 keV Ar ions at room temperature in a broad range and the SAW propagation velocity was evaluated as a function of Ar ion dose. The present preliminary experiment using pulsed laser suggests the successful detection of SAW from typical substances with different modulus of elasticity such as fcc metals, oxides and semi conducting materials.

We measured ejected electron spectra caused by autoionization of doubly excited states in He atoms; the excited He was made by double electron capture of low-energy He ions colliding with Ba atoms. Measurements were performed by means of zero degree electron spectroscopy at projectile energies from 40 to 20 keV. Electron spectra due to autoionization from the states He(2lnl) to He+(1s) for n2, and those from He(3lnl) to He(2s or 2p) for n3, were observed. Line peaks in the spectra were identified by comparing observed electron spectra with those of several theoretical calculations. It was found that doubly excited states of relatively high angular momenta such as the D and F terms were conspicuously created in a quite different manner from the cases of the production of doubly excited states by the use of photon, electron, or ion impacts on neutral He atoms. Rydberg states with large n values were observed with high population in both the He(2lnl) and He(3lnl) series.

Eddy current techniques have been tested for future Post irradiated Experiment ;PIE applications outside hot cell(the following, cell outside). As the result, applicability to the defects inspection such as the cladding tube material was able to be confirmed, and an outlook to the application to the irradiation material was obtained. The last time, report described results of the external surface defects, inside defects, and open holes outside hot cell except for Fuel-Cladding Chemical Interaction (FCCI) measurement testing This paper mainly describes the results of the trial FCCI measurement testing outside hot cell. Other tests include the results of external surface defects, inside defects, and open holes in the proofreading tests. The proofreading tests used a standard defect pin inside hot cell. In the trial FCCI measurement testing outside hot cell, the correlation between reduction in thickness and eddy current signal value was comfirmed, and the prospect of FCCI measurement by the eddy current testing was examined. As the result, the optimum conditions for measuring the FCCI quantity are respectively (1)carrier speed of the pin :20mm/sec, (2) test frequency : 32kHz, (3)phase : ODEG, (4) gain :-10dB, (5)filter : 0. The correlation between trial FCCI quantity and eddy current signal value was found on the basis of the test result, and the prospect which could detect FCCI was obtained when there is reduction in thickness of over 50 m for the cladding tube with wall thickness quantity of the 300 m order. And, the proofreading test inside hot cell on eddy current measurements were confirmed to be equivalent to the performance test outside hot cell.
