Phase Transformations and Ablation in Laser-Treated Solids

Download or read book Phase Transformations and Ablation in Laser-Treated Solids written by Emil N. Sobol and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1995-02-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uses a unified standpoint to describe the principal physical processes that determine the possibility and practical effectiveness of utilizing lasers for the modification and ablation of solids. Analyzes the general mechanisms and laws operative in the course of laser treatment of various materials including metal alloys, rocks, oxides, high-temperature superconductors and hard biological tissues. The chapters on laser-induced solid state thermochemical reactions and phase transitions in high-temperature superconductors under laser radiation break new ground.
