✦ Synopsis
Controlling Neutral Mixtures: Thin Film Deposition via Laser Ablation and Selective Ionization of K 4 In 4 Sb 6 . -The achieved significant removal of potassium from thin films deposited by laser ablation/ionization of K 4 In 4 Sb 6 (degree of removal ≈60%) provides clear experimental evidence for macroscopic selective depletion of a group I element from a Zintl phase ablation plume. While at present it is not clear whether conditions exist for full quantitative removal of the potassium, it is apparent that the ablation/ionization technique is viable for the macroscopic control of neutral mixtures.
