Temperature rise induced by a laser beam II. The nonlinear case

Lax, M.·1978·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

The steady-state solution of the nonlinear heat-conduction equation when the thermal conductivity is strongly temperature dependent is expressed (for arbitrary geometry and heat source) in terms of the corresponding solution for the linear heat-conduction case. This permits a closed-form expression for the maximum temperature rise when a Gaussian laser beam hits the surface of a crystal, as well as integral representations for the spatial distribution of the temperature rise. This solution is essential in understanding laser annealing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
