PLDTarget

inherits from: nomad.datamodel.metainfo.basesections.v1.CompositeSystem

properties:

name type
target_id nomad.datamodel.metainfo.basesections.v1.ReadableIdentifiers sub-section

normalization:

If the elemental composition list is empty, the normalizer will iterate over the components and extract all the elements for populating the elemental composition list. If masses are provided for all components and the elemental composition of all components contain atomic fractions the normalizer will also calculate the atomic fractions for the composite system. The populated elemental composition list is added to the results by the normalizer in the System super class.

PLDTargetComponent

inherits from: nomad.datamodel.metainfo.basesections.v1.SystemComponent

properties:

name type
lab_id str
system PLDTarget A reference to the component system.

normalization:

If none is set, the normalizer will set the name of the component to be that of the referenced system if it has one.

PLDLaser

inherits from: nomad_material_processing.vapor_deposition.pvd.general.PVDEvaporationSource

properties:

name type
wavelength float unit=meter
repetition_rate float unit=hertz
spot_size float unit=meter ** 2
pulses int The total number of laser pulses during the deposition step.

PLDSource

inherits from: nomad_material_processing.vapor_deposition.pvd.general.PVDSource

properties:

name type
material PLDTargetComponent The source of the material that is being evaporated. Example: A sputtering target, a powder in a crucible, etc.
sub-section, repeats
vapor_source PLDLaser Section containing the details of the laser source.
sub-section

PLDStep

inherits from: nomad_material_processing.vapor_deposition.pvd.general.PVDStep

properties:

PulsedLaserDeposition

description: A synthesis technique where a high-power pulsed laser beam is focused (inside a vacuum chamber) onto a target of the desired composition. Material is then vaporized from the target ('ablation') and deposited as a thin film on a substrate facing the target. [database_cross_reference: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0640-0422]
