Highly efficient processes for fine particle formation of metal alloys and metal oxides were developed using a high‐power laser. In these processes, laser light was used only for the ignition of a thermal chain reaction. This reaction was suppressed by adding inert gases, and the suppression effect was in the order C 3 H 8 > C 2 H 6 > CH 4 > He > Ar > Xe. Oxygen accelerated the reaction because of the large exothermicity of the reaction of oxygen with methyl metal compounds.
