Abstract
Electron and optical microscopy were applied in studying laser-irradiated metal surfaces. The preparation of carbon replica films of irradiated surfaces is described. A summary of observations from irradiated Ag, Al, Be, Cu, Pb, and low-carbon steel is given. Microcraters of less than 10 μ diam were found to be an early stage in the development of radiation damage on laser-irradiated metal surfaces. The observed surface structure is assumed to be of interest when interpreting experiments on the interaction of laser beams with metal surfaces.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
