10. It is important to make a clear distinction between nanosecond laser ablation and recent femtosecond experiments. In the former, the relative density of electronic excitation is low and is given over a time period which is long compared with all relaxation times except possibly for thermal diffusion times. In the femtosecond regime, a high density of excitation is created over a time scale too short for most equilibration processes to be initiated.
