Description

Light-induced metallization was studied in laser-deposited gallium films. It was found that mirrors prepared upon silica glass by ultrafast pulsed laser deposition of elemental gallium shows a highly reproducible and fully reversible light-induced reflectivity increase. The effect was explained as being due to nonthermal light-induced metallization of gallium at the interface.
