Abstract

An experimental facility for studying the kinetics of molecular association formation from atoms produced by evaporation of the target material by powerful CO2 laser pulses is described. First experimental results are presented for the spectral and spatial-temporal characteristics of the spread of Al atoms produced in interactions of laser radiation with aluminum oxide Al2O3, followed by AlO formation in various low-pressure (0.1–0.3 Torr) atmospheres. Images of structurally similar forms condensed on a glass surface have been observed with an atomic-force microscope.
