← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a pulsed laser induces localized breakdown?
A)Plasma ablates surrounding functional material✓
B)Resistivity of oxides decreases linearly
C)Thermal expansion causes bulk delamination
D)Material becomes increasingly supercooled liquid
💡 Explanation
Plasma ablation is caused. The mechanism is inverse bremsstrahlung. Because an intense field creates plasma, accelerating free electrons in the material. Therefore ablation happens, rather than linear resistivity changes or thermal delamination which would need much lower, steadier fields.
