Abstract

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) proves to be successful for the preparation of bismuth oxide films, by using pure bismuth targets and oxygen atmosphere inside the ablation chamber. This paper proves that the wavelength and the number of laser pulses strongly influence the structure, morphology and optical properties of the films.
