Thermal- and nonthermal melting in gallium arsenide after femtosecond laser excitation has been investigated by means of time resolved microscopy. Electronic melting within a few hundred femtoseconds is observed for rather strong excitation and the data reveal a distinct threshold fluence of 150 mJ/cm(2) for this nonthermal process. Below that threshold melting occurs on a 100 ps time scale and is of thermal nature. Using a simple numerical model we describe this type of the phase transition as heterogeneous melting under strongly overheated conditions. [S0163-1829(98)51142-3].
