Low-energy channel for mass transfer in Pt crystal initiated by molecule impact by Babicheva, Rita I., Evazzade, Iman, Korznikova, Elena A., Shepelev, Igor A., Zhou, Kun, Dmitriev, Sergey V.

“…This is explained by the fact that the atom can initiate only a very sharp, fast-moving crowdion (anti-kink), which requires relatively high energy, while the molecule is able to initiate a less localized crowdion with considerably lower velocity and energy. …”

Erasure temperature measurements of heat assisted magnetic recording media by Chen, Y. J., Yang, H. Z., Leong, S. H., Cher, K. M., Hu, J. F., Sethi, P., Lew, Wen Siang

“…The temperature for complete erasure at laser power, Pw = 72 mW for the LH method, corresponds therefore to ∼650 K (≈Te) for the bulk heating methods. Besides fast measurement, LH (as a comparable and viable approach for erasure measurement) is dynamic, localized, and has time scales closer to practical HAMR situation.…”

Influence of operating parameters on morphology of laser hardened surfaces by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Wu, Naien

“…The highly intense laser beam rapidly heats up the irradiated surface above its austenitization temperature which cools down instantaneously (self-quenching) as the laser moves away from the spot producing a hardened surface. The fast heating and cooling generate a non-equilibrium phase transformation of which very little is understood. …”
