The results of papers [1–4] are reported. In [1], we consider the
effect of a femtosecond (fs) laser pulse of hard X-ray (9 keV) on
a lithium fluoride target. In [2], the propagation of a two-jump
elastic/fracture laser-induced shock in diamond is considered. In [3],
the melting/crystallization of titanium by a multi-megabar shock
is described. Such a shock is generated by a fs laser pulse. The
problem has applications in LSP (laser shock peening)—there is
a refinement of large crystallites (tens of microns) to nanosize.
In [4] the coefficients of electron-phonon interaction and thermal
conductivity in gold with strongly excited electron subsystem were
determined.
