Abstract
We have studied dynamical mechanism of laser ablation using combined time- and spatially-resolved measurements of laser plasma soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and visible light emission imaging/spectroscopy. The obtained results indicate that there are no significant formation of silicon clustres and no growth of silicon nanoclusters till 2.55 ms after laser ablation. We have fabricated nanocluster-based silicon films by laser ablation in ambient gases and investigated photoluminescence at room temperature from the films. It is found that the growth of silicon nanocluster-based films with visible light emission can be well controlled by means of novel laser ablation methods.
