Changes of the irradiated areas have been analyzed with the reflectivity contrast. As laser fluences increasing, the reflectivity contrast increases from 0%-2% to 14%-16%, which indicates the structure of asdeposited films transforms from amorphous to crystalline phases. The process of crystallization driven by the movement and rearrangement of atoms is described. And also the influence of the pulse duration on the threshold of crystallization is discussed, the results show that a lower threshold of crystallization can be produced for as-deposited films irradiated by the laser with short pulse duration. However, by the laser with long pulse duration, crystallization can only be formed with a higher threshold. The crystallization of films by irradiation of laser pulses is studied by Raman spectra.展开更多
