Threshold Energies for the Melting of Si and Al during Pilsed-Laser Irradiation

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

The heat flow calculations have been performed to obtain the threshold energies for the melting of Si and Al during pulsed-laser irradiations under various laser conditions. The temperature dependent optical and thermal properties of the solids are deduced from the available experimental data. The melting threshold energies calculated for the solids are within the accuracy of the experimental values.
