Structural transitions in GaAs during irradiation by a 100-fs laser pulse

  • 1. Department of Physics, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

It is shown experimentally for the first time that the pumping of a GaAs sample by a 100-fs laser pulse causes plasma-induced bandgap collapse and 'cold' melting of the material during the pulse. (letters)
