Abstract

A model describing melting and thermocapillary (or Marangoni) flow in laser irradiated thin films is presented. The free surface formulation leads to predictions of surface profiles that are in qualitative agreement with experimental observations. Additional experimental results for direct-writing of palladium from palladium acetate films demonstrate the influence of thermocapillary effects on the dynamics of the process.
