Abstract

The (0001), (1010), and (2110) faces of Bi have been pulse laser melted at0.5 J/cm2 with a Q-switched Ruby laser. Nomarski InterferenceContrast Microscopy, Channeling, and selective chemical etching have beenused to investigate the response to the laser irradiation. The response ofthe material and the level of damage is shown to be strongly correlated tothe critical resolved shear stress characteristics in the particularcrystallographic direction studied.
