I suggest you take another look at the experiment you are quoting, and extract the actual energy in the laser pulse, and the area over which it was spread. That will give you an energy flux. Since you know what the material is, you can make a guess at how many atoms absorbed the energy, and determine very roughly how much each one got. You can also calculate how much each electron would get if the pulse were absorbed by electrons. [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
