Mass, velocity and angle distributions of the ablated species generated from 355 nm pulsed laser ablation (PLA) of a LiCoO2 target were investigated with an angle- and time-resolved quadrupole mass spectrometric technique. The observed neutral and ionic ablated species include Li, Co, LiO, CoO, LiO2, CoO2, and clusters L-4, Li2O, Li5O. The kinetic energies of Li, Co and LiO ions are independent of the laser fluence. The angular distributions of the ablated species can be simulated by a cos " theta or a bicosine function alpha cos theta + (1 - alpha) cos(n) theta, respectively.
