How Does a Ceramic Melt Under Laser? Tunnel Ionization Dominant Femtosecond Ultrafast Melting in Magnesium Oxide by Hui Zhao, Shiqi Hu, Mengxue Guan, Xinbao Liu, Daqiang Chen, Jiyu Xu, Sheng Meng

“…Laser-induced melting plays a crucial role in advanced manufacturing technology and ultrafast science; however, its atomic processes and microscopic mechanisms, especially in a wide-gap ceramic, remain elusive due to complex interplays between many degrees of freedom within a timescale of ~100 fs. We report here that laser melting is greatly accelerated by intense laser-induced tunnel ionization, instead of a priori multiphoton absorption, in the archetypal ceramic magnesium oxide (MgO). …”
