Abstract

Q-Switch laser pulses are used to convert vapor-deposited metal-Si thin films into the amorphous state by a melting, mixing and quenching process. Experimental findings obtained with the metals Au, Pt, Pd, V and Nb are presented and compared with results from a numerical simulation of the laser induced melting and quenching process.
