Thermoacoustics of Conductive Materials under Laser Action

Abstract

Abstract: Within the framework of a one-temperature model of thermoelasticity, an analysis of the effect of electron localization processes on the thermoelastic response of conductors under pulsed-laser action is conducted. It is shown that electron localization can lead to considerable tightening of the deformation processes in conductors as compared with processes that develop in accordance with a typical thermoelastic mechanism.
