0 the process of turning, or causing something to turn, from a solid or liquid state into gas:
1 the process of changing from a solid or liquid into a gas
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid.
You can only drink water condensed after vaporization into a glass container if you want to be safe.
The vaporization process which takes place in a very short time but with a considerable amount of mass transport exerts a recoil pressure.
In summary, we can conclude that vaporization and laser beam sputtering is the main mechanisms in laser ablation, under our conditions.
Concrete evidence suggests that vaporization resistant impurities are responsible for laser-cone formation.
At the vaporization temperature of aluminum, the pressure of a per fect gas at solid density is ;20 kbar.
The experimentally measured energy deposition values are expressed as a percentage of the vaporization energy in the fifth column.
