Micrographs of the surface morphology of Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ ((a) and (b)) and La₅₅Ni₂₀Al₂₅ ((c) and (d)) irradiated by a single pulse laser with an intensity of about 5.5×10¹² W/m². Panels (a) and (c) show the entire SEM view of the irradiated area, panel (b) displays the close-up view of the area “A” marked in panel (a), and panel (d) exhibits the close-up view of the area “B” marked in panel (c).
