Abstract

Single crystals of GaAs (100) and Si (110) were laser annealed with a 20 ns ruby laser pulse. Both the velocity distribution and the density variation of evaporated Ga or As and Si atoms were determined by a time-of-flight measurement. In addition time-resolved measurements were made of the reflectivity of the surface during the laser annealing. The data consistently show that the molten phase occurs at energy densities of ≳ 0.35 J cm–2 for GaAs and ≳O.8 J cm for Si.
