Mass spectrometric analysis of laser evaporation products of ceramics of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox composition

Mass spectrometric analysis is used to study mechanism of laser evaporation of superconducting ceramics of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox composition. During evaporation as a result of pulsed laser irradiation of a sample placed in vaccum ions of all metals containing in ceramics and also neutral O2, Ca, Sr, Cu, Bi and metal oxides were detected on yttrium aluminate. Time-of-flight spectra had two peaks corresponding to ion and neutral components. Comparison of neutral components. Comparison of neutral particle rates points to the fact that gas dynamic processes connected with formation of dense gas cloud near the target surface play an important
