Abstract

Transient time-resolved picosecond reflectivity measurements were performed on silicon melted by a 40 ps ultraviolet (308 nm) beam. These were compared to simulations of reflectivity versus amorphous and liquid layer depth and of amorphous interface velocity for various models including transition state theory and density limited growth, both with and without thermal activation.
