Which risk increases when a pulsed laser-induced forward transfer is performed in vacuum?

💡 Explanation

Ablation plume expansion velocity greatly increases in a vacuum because there's practically no ambient gas to slow it. The mechanism is Knudsen diffusion; therefore the arrival of the ablated plume at the target is faster, generating lower-quality transfer, rather than other material changes in the process.
