2 If an activity sputters, it continues weakly, and does not make people feel confident about it:
In summary, we can conclude that vaporization and laser beam sputtering is the main mechanisms in laser ablation, under our conditions.
Recent work suggests that molecular sputtering of surface molecules may provide an alternative way to decelerate, without such intense heating.
The sputtering model considered here may require significant modification for the case of highly fluffy and porous meteoroids.
This was confirmed by the laser produced plasma ions sputtering experiments in air.
It is seen from the diagrams that the sputtering rate at each erosion groove is changing by its length from one cathode end to another.
These particles result from gas-phase nucleation, polymerization, or sputtering of electrode and wall surfaces.
The particles were assumed to be slowed by sputtering, with relatively low sputtering coefficient of 0.5.
Synthesis of nanocrystalline material by sputtering and laser ablation at low temperatures.
