Description
Neodymium oxide is a material highly used in different applications fields, such as, optoelectronics and biomedical.
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was used as a synthesis method to grow thin films at different pressures, going from 2x10$^{-5}$ Torr to 1x10$^{-2} $ Torr. For the experiments, a 2 inches neodymium disk was used as target. It was ablated with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser emitting at 1064 nm with an energy per pulse of 190 mJ. Experiments were carried out in vacuum and in oxygen/argon background gas. To control the plasma parameters a Langmiür planar probe was used.
The obtained neodymium oxide thin films were analized optically and structurally to evaluate the pressure effect in the chemical grow mechanism.
