description | This paper contributes to the old problem of droplet formation by providing detailed quantitative data on the population statistics of particulates deteriorating the surface of boron carbide films produced by PLD. Films of 180

4C target in high vacuum. Number densities and size distributions of the particulates are given for 14 films, deposited at laser fluences tuned between 2 and 14
