X Abstract

The dynamic process of intense 50 fs laser ablation of aluminum is investigated by ultrafast time-resolved microscopy. A stripe pattern preceding phase explosion is clearly seen in the shadowgraph of 1 ns time delay. Intermittent material ejections are observed within the ejected plume after 2.5 and 7 ns time delay, respectively, which may be attributed to the material response to the generation of an extremely strong thermoelastic wave. Similar processes are also recorded in the ablation of silicon and glass samples, except for the glass samples, the intermittent material ejections are not found.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
