Interplay of Soret vs. Normal Impurity Diffusion During Laser or E-Beam Induced Heat Flow Transients in Metals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
In the growing amount of the experimental data on the diffu sion processes of implanted impurities in a metal sample irradiated by highly energetic and very short pulses, some order may be introduced by the knowledge of the structure of induced thermal transient. The differences in such a structure due to two different energy sources (laser and electron beam) are de scribed with reference to the conditions under which Soret diffusion may be experimentally observed as distinct from nor mal diffusion. Laser induced transient seem to offer this possibility.
Some previously reported diffusion processes in laser irra diated systems are reinterpreted on this basis, showing the importance of the Soret effect.
