  • Controlled phase transition of metals
    Patent number: 7524385
    Abstract: A process for electromagnetic (EM) energy-induced solid to liquid phase transitions in metals is disclosed. The method utilizes coherent EM fields to transform solid materials such as silicon and aluminum without significant detectable heat generation. The transformed material reverts to a solid form after the EM field is removed within a period of time dependent on the material and the irradiation conditions.
