Abstract

The spatial and temporal distribution of Cr* in a laser-CVD arrangement has been studied by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). Low excited Cr*(a5S2) atoms are produced by dissociation of Cr(CO)6 by a KrF laser ( λ = 248 nm) via two photon absorption. An observed disappearance of Cr* after photolysis is due to reaction with photofragments, quenching via collision relaxation and deposition. The diffusion constants for Cr* in He/Cr(CO)x mixtures could be determined. The Cr* density in the vicinity of a sample drops sharply by heating the sample. The decrease is due to thermal decomposition of Cr(CO)6 with an activation energy of 0.11 eV.
