Using the method of laser probing, the basic laws governing the formation of a liquid-droplet phase of a number of metals exposed to intense (108–109 W/cm2) nanosecond pulses have been determined. Deposited colloidal nanoparticles have been investigated with the aid of scanning electron microscopy. The effect of smoothing the surface relief of solid metal targets under the action of a laser pulse train has been demonstrated.
