Laser-Generated Glassy Phases
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Short laser pulses have recently been discovered to be powerful means for glass formation in binary alloys as well as in some pure elements Due to relevant cooling rates in excess of 1010°K/s, glass formation is achieved in binary systems over most of the phase diagram, even in systems not previously known as glass formers. We first give a review of recent progress in laser melt quenching, and then discuss the kinetic conditions of glass formation by laser irradiation.
