Abstract
Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a highly flexible experimental methodology for the growth of thin films of a broad variety of materials, based on the generation of laser-induced plasmas (LIP) with material ablated from a solid target and on the transfer of the ablated material to a substrate. This review is focused on carbon-based materials—specifically, diamond-like carbon (DLC), graphene and carbyne—and will both discuss the influence of the most critical experimental parameters on the obtained materials and present the experimental developments proposed in the recent literature to tailor the properties of the deposited films and optimize the standard PLD technique for production of various carbon-based materials.
