Abstract

The structure of laser-irradiated regions in a silver-21 at. % germanium alloy was studied by X-ray and metallographic techniques. A hexagonal close-packed metastable phase was detected in the irradiated zone. Its formation is explained in terms of the ultrarapid cooling of a thin molten zone in contact with a thermally highly conductive solid substrate.
