The crystallization and oxidation processes of thin, free-standing (FS), sputtered Cr films under the action of cw CO2 laser irradiation were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and transmission electron diffraction (TED). The crystallization is induced at power densities above 28.65 W cm−2, dwell time of 1 s, and the oxidation at power densities of 48.1 W cm−2 and longer dwell times.
