Overview
Uses a unified standpoint to describe the principal physical processes that determine the possibility and practical effectiveness of utilizing lasers for the modification and ablation of solids. Analyzes the general mechanisms and laws operative in the course of laser treatment of various materials including metal alloys, rocks, oxides, high-temperature superconductors and hard biological tissues. The chapters on laser-induced solid state thermochemical reactions and phase transitions in high-temperature superconductors under laser radiation break new ground.Editorials

Assists materials scientists and engineers to predict and gauge the effectiveness of lasers for the modification and ablation of solids. The author provides new phase tranformation models, and applies them to a wide range of scientific and industrial laser applications, including the cutting of metals, the hardening of alloys, the cleaning of surfaces, local ablation of multicomponent solids, deposition of films, modifications and polishing of thin superconducting films, the deposition of biologically compatible coatings, and surgical treatment of bony tissues.
