Effect of Laser Beam Profile on Rotating Lattice Single Crystal Growth in Sb<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> Model Glass

Laser heating of chalcogenide glasses has successfully produced rotating lattice single crystals through a solid-solid transformation. To better understand the nature of complex, orientation-dependent lattice rotation, we designed heat profiles of the continuous wave laser by beam shaping, fabricate...
