The authors propose and demonstrate that thermal laser evaporation can be applied to all solid, nonradioactive elements in the periodic table. By depositing thin films, they achieve growth rates exceeding 1 Å/s with output laser powers less than 500 W using identical beam parameters for many different elements. The source temperature is found to vary linearly with the laser power within the examined power range. High growth rates are possible using free-standing sources for most of the elements tested, eliminating the need for crucibles.

整个周期表中元素的热激光蒸发

作者提出并证明了热激光蒸发可以应用于元素周期表中的所有固体、非放射性元素。通过沉积薄膜，对于许多不同的元素，它们使用相同的光束参数，在输出激光功率小于 500 W 的情况下实现了超过 1 Å/s 的生长速率。发现源温度在检查的功率范围内随激光功率线性变化。对于大多数测试元素，使用独立式源可以实现高增长率，从而无需坩埚。
