Abstract
The neutral species present in CdS ablation plumes upon nanosecond 532 nm laser irradiation at a moderate fluence of 0.5–0.75 J cm−2 have been studied. Neutral CdnSm clusters have been identified, some as large as (CdS)33−34 (1–2 nm in diameter). The analysis of the dynamics of neutral species shows an expansion with two components that differ both in composition and dynamics. A fast, high kinetic energy component, dominated by S2 which acquires free-flow conditions at short distances from the target, is followed by a slower component characterized by similar speeds for all species. This slower component shows dynamic features that are expected to favor aggregation processes leading to effective cluster formation.
