Laser-Induced Phase Transition in the Surface of SmS Crystals

Laser-Induced Phase Transition in the Surface of SmS Crystals

Localized annihilation and generation of the metallic surface phase of SmS was obtained with short laser pulses. Small spot sizes and a large difference in reflectivity suggest an application for optical data storage.
