Abstract

Coexisting liquid and solid regions have been reported to occur in the melt zone of radiatively heated silicon thin films. We demonstrate here the mechanism of creation of these lamellae. The existence and characteristic size of the lamellae are shown to arise simply from the increased reflectivity of silicon on melting and the thermal properties of the sample.
