Laser ablation dynamics in liquid phase: The effects of magnetic field and electrolyte
Abstract
We examined the laser ablation dynamics of silver target in aqueous phase to explore the effects of laser power, ambient electrolytes, and magnetic field on the formation and expansion of laser-induced plasma plume, bubbles, and nanoparticles. The lifetime of the plasma emission increased with magnetic field and electrolytes, while they had no influence on the conversion of laser energy to the energy of laser-induced bubbles formed thereafter. The size of the bubbles was dependent only on the laser power.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
