Following laser ablation on oxidized metal, which event determines material removal?

💡 Explanation

Material is removed by photo-thermal induced phase explosion. The rapid heating causes the material to transition to a superheated unstable state, because the high temperature surpasses the boiling temperature therefore explosive ejection occurs, rather than gradual evaporation or chemical reaction.
