Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Phase Transformation in Aluminum
Abstract
The technique of picosecond electron diffraction is used to resolve in time the laser-induced melting of thin aluminum films. It is observed that under rapid heating conditions, the long-range order of the lattice subsists for lattice temperatures well above the equilibrium point, indicative of superheating. The melting time is found to vary according to the degree of superheating. The initial density of nuclei is determined under the assumption of a two-dimensional expansion model. These results show for the first time the relationship between superheating and the rate of transformation.

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.
