Abstract
Time-resolved optical reflectivity measurements were used to investigate phase changes which occur in silicon during cw-laser heating. It is shown that amorphous silicon does not melt at a temperature significantly lower than the melting point of crystalline silicon (1693 K), contrary to recent reports which suggested a 300- to 500-K melting-point depression.
