Laser ablation is well known in medical applications like dermatology and dentistry, and for more than a decade it has been used to vaporize materials that are difficult to evaporate for high-tech applications like the deposition of superconductors. Now researchers in the Journal of Applied Physics have studied the properties of femtosecond laser ablation plumes to better understand how to apply them to specialized films.
