Abstract

The kinetics of rapid crystallization in metals is investigated by measuring transient optical property changes in laser irradiated gold and copper films in the picosecond and nanosecond regimes. Melt thresholds are determined by examining concentration profiles of multi-layered films before and after irradiation.
