On the Role of Atomic Binding Forces and Warm-Dense-Matter Physics in the Modeling of mJ-Class Laser-Induced Surface Ablation
Asher Davidson, George Petrov, Daniel Gordon +1
Ultrafast laser heating of electrons on a metal surface breaks the pressure equilibrium within the material, thus initiating ablation. The stasis of a room-temperature metal result…

Bremsstrahlung radiation from the interaction of short laser pulses with dielectrics
G. M. Petrov, J. P. Palastro, J. Peñano
An intense, short laser pulse incident on a transparent dielectric can excite electrons from valence to the conduction band. As these electrons undergo scattering, both from phonon…
