Abstract:
The angular distribution of electron temperature and density in a laser-ablation plume has been studied
for the first time. The electron temperature ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 eV and is only weakly dependent on
the angle in the low-intensity range studied here. In contrast, the typical ion energy is about 2 orders
of magnitude larger, and its angular distribution is more peaked about the target normal. The derived
values of the electron density are in agreement with the measured values of ion density.
