The role of electron–phonon coupling in ultrafast laser heating
Source abstract
Abstract
Most of the ultrafast laser heating analysis to date has been accomplished with a constant electron–phonon coupling factor (G). Due to the significant changes in the electron and lattice temperature caused by high-power laser heating, G could be temperature dependent. In this article a phenomenological temperature-dependent G is introduced to simulate ultrafast laser heating in metals. The electron temperature and the ablation depth computed with the temperature-dependent G compare well with experimental data.
