摘要
Based on the concept of phase explosion, an enthalpy form of the two-step heating equations is proposed to model the superheating and material ablation of metals caused by ultrashort-pulse lasers. Numerical calculation of the electron and lattice temperatures is performed for gold films heated by a sub-picosecond UV laser in vacuum. When the lattice temperature at a material point equals 0.9T(tc) (T-tc denoting the thermodynamic equilibrium critical temperature), phase explosion is assumed and that material point is removed. The calculated ablation depth matches well with experimental data.
