Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We investigated the effects of laser wavelength on the atomic, ionic, and radiative emission from laser-produced tin plasmas. For generating plasmas, planar tin targets were excited using either high intensity neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG, 1.06 μm) or carbon dioxide (CO, 10.6 μm) laser pulses; both are considered to be potential excitation lasers for an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography laser-produced plasma light source. Various diagnostic tools were utilized for investigating ionic, neutral, and radiative emission from Sn plasmas including Faraday cup, witness plate in conjunction with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), EUV, and visible emission spectroscopy and photography. Atomic and ionic analysis showed that the amount of debris emitted by the Nd:YAG generated plasmas was considerably higher than the CO laser-produced plasmas. The angular distributions of both atomic and ionic debris were found to be more forward-centric for the 1.06 μm generated plasma while being much more uniform for the 10.6 μm heated plasma. EUV and visible emission images of the plasma also showed a forward-centric appearance for 1.06 μm heated plasmas. The strength of excited neutral emission was considerably lower for the case of the 10.6 μm plasma while the kinetic energies of ions debris were found to be much higher for CO generated plasmas. Surface analysis of the craters created by the lasers showed that the mass ablation rate is 3.6 times higher for Nd:YAG laser generated plasmas compared to CO generated plasmas at maximum EUV emission. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
