Crystallization rates in pure metals have been measured by monitoring changes in reflectivity on a picosecond time scale during pulsed laser quenching. Multilayered films were used to establish that the transient decreases in reflectivity correspond to melting. Depth profiling with Auger electron spectroscopy on laser‐irradiated areas showed complete mixing of the layers, which could only have occurred by melting. Crystallization velocities as high as 100 m/s were measured. These growth speeds are too large to be the result of a crystallization process governed by liquid state diffusion. The results of computer simulations based on a collision‐limited growth model for crystallization were consistent with the measurements.
