Abstract

Melting velocities were measured in thin gold films by performing pump/probe transmission measurements using a unique picosecond excimer pump and dye laser probe. Monitoring the depth of the liquid by changes in the near pseudo-Brewster's angle transmission allowed for direct measurement of crystal/melt interfacial velocity up to 1500 m/s.
