TY - CONF A1 - Gornushkin, Igor B. A1 - Shabanov, Sergej V. A1 - Glaus, Reto A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - Modeling and diagnostics of molecules in laser induced plasmasmodeling and diagnostics of molecules in laser induced plasmas N2 - A collisional-dominated model of a laser induced plasma will be presented which includes the coupled Navier-Stokes, state, radiative transfer, and material transport equations and incorporates plasma chemistry through the equilibrium approach based on the use of atomic and molecular partition functions. Simple chemical systems are modeled including ablation of Si, C, SiC, CaCl2 in N2 or Ar atmospheres with the formation of molecules N2, C2, Si2, CN, Cl2, SiN, SiC, CaCl, CaCl2 and their corresponding positive and negative ions. The model is used to study evolution of number densities of atomic and molecular species in the expanding plasma plume. The distribution is compared to experimental observations obtained by optical imaging and tomography. The model and experiment serve to elucidate mechanisms of molecular formation in LIPs, the topic which has recently received much attention in the LIBS community.

The initial conditions are specially chosen to emulate the plasma state on the onset of expansion just after the laser pulse had ended.
