Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Using the method of laser probing, the laws governing the formation of the liquid-droplet phase of a number of metals (Ni, Zn, Pb, Ag, and Cu) on exposure of metal targets to intense submicrosecond pulses have been determined. It has been established that condensation from the vapor of the erosive laser jet is the main mechanism of formation of the liquid-droplet phase of a metal under given conditions.
