What Does PLAD Stand For?

PLAD stands for Pulsed Laser Ablation Deposition

PLAD, or Pulsed Laser Ablation Deposition, is a thin-film deposition technique that utilizes high-energy laser pulses to ablate material from a target source. This ejected material is then deposited onto a substrate, forming a uniform thin film. PLAD is widely used in materials science and nanotechnology for the fabrication of various coatings and complex structures, offering precise control over film composition and thickness, as well as the ability to create a diverse range of material types.
