# Fireball ejection from a molten hot spot to air by localized microwaves

Vladimir Dikhtyar, Eli Jerby, 2006. _Physical Review Letters 96, 045002_.

Microwaves focused into silicon, glass, ceramics or basalt create a hot spot from which a buoyant fireball is ejected into air and absorbs the available microwave power.
