We have investigated the effects of target preparation and modification in controlling the particle density of films fabricated by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. YBa2Cu3O7 targets, prepared by unique processing conditions, were used to experimentally study the factors controlling surface morphology of PLD films. By varying the nature of the target processing conditions, the particle density can be considerably reduced in superconducting thin films and completely eliminated in diamondlike carbon thin films. Cold pressed and sintered bulk superconducting targets were subjected to controlled continuous wave (cw) CO2 laser irradiation for compacting and densifying the target. Another method employed was the incorporation of silver into the superconductor targets to improve its thermal conductivity, optical absorption coefficient, and bulk density. The particle density was found to significantly reduce for films deposited from cw CO2 laser processed YBa2Cu3O7 targets. The experimental results wer...
