Si. Kudryashov et al., THERMODYNAMIC STATE OF THE LASER-INDUCED LIQUID-PHASE AND POSITION OFTHE TRIPLE POINT OF CARBON, Mendeleev communications (Print), (4), 1998, pp. 151-152
Quasi-equilibrium and metastable (overheated) liquid phases of carbon
are formed in the initial stage of the laser irradiation of a graphite
target in air and in a vacuum, respectively, with an approximate posi
tion of the solid-liquid-vapour triple point of carbon at 1 bar, 4000
