Abstract
Desorption and ablation using ultraviolet lasers has come to be a widely accepted tool in processing and analytical technologies, in fields as diverse as pulsed-laser film deposition and laser-desorption mass spectrometry. Ultraviolet-laser-induced desorption from wide-band-gap insulators has been linked to the creation of electronic defects and their subsequent relaxation by non-radiative electron-lattice coupling.1
