57. Conflicting views regarding the relevance of Coulomb explosion to semiconductors and metals, where the higher electron mobilities and densities would ensure an effective screening of the net positive charge at the surface, can be found in the literature [R. Stoian, A. Rosenfeld, I. V. Hertel, N. M. Bulgakova, and E. E. B. Campbell, Appl. Phys. Lett. APPLAB 0003-6951 10.1063/1.1771817 85, 694 (2004);

Nevertheless, if nonthermal melting of a highly excited semiconductor lattice (such as silicon) can be triggered during the pulse using, e.g., very high intensities, one can envisage that part of the laser radiation may interact with the metallic liquid phase, with significantly lower electron mobility (Ref.), to induce electrostatic charging and ablation at the surface (Ref.); this, however, has yet to be confirmed.

99. This is based upon the following two observations: (i) Because single-photon processes govern the optical response of the material (see note in Ref.), conduction-band electrons are initially generated in the crystal with a maximum kinetic energy ωL - Eg ≈ 3.5 eV which is below the minimum energy required to escape the solid, as given by the electron affinity χ 3.7 eV [J. R. Goldman and J. A. Prybyla, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.72.1364 72, 1364 (1994)]. (ii) A photon may excite a conduction electron above the vacuum level (since ωL >χ), thus leaving the surface with a net positive charge; at sufficiently high irradiances, this could lead to space-charge effects which are not accounted for by our model. However, recent experiments and calculations have shown that such a positive charge would be rapidly balanced out by the diffusion of electrons from the bulk (Refs.). The same reasoning applies to thermionic emission which is also neglected.
