| Measurements are made on thin films produced by Pulsed Laser Deposition. From these measurements the homogeneity of the film is readily determined. The thin films showed significantly higher LIBS intensity (16x) than measurements on bulk samples with similar chemistry. This is also apparent from the calibration curves, which are linear for the bulk analysis, but strongly self-absorbed for the thin film analysis. | |||||
