Abstract

The melting of a polycrystalline iron surface with short laser pulses induces a surface structure with an orientation and a morphology depending on the crystal face of the surface. Different crystal planes irradiated with the same laser pulses show different degrees of disorder. This points to a crystal face dependent surface melting temperature.
