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…
Heavy ion acceleration in the Breakout Afterburner regime
G. M. Petrov, C. McGuffey, A. G. R. Thomas +2
Theoretical study of heavy ion acceleration from an ultrathin (20 nm) gold foil irradiated by sub-picosecond lasers is presented. Using two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations…
Observation and control of shock waves in individual nanoplasmas
Daniel D. Hickstein, Franklin Dollar, Jim A. Gaffney +11
In a novel experiment that images the momentum distribution of individual, isolated 100-nm-scale plasmas, we make the first experimental observation of shock waves in nanoplasmas.…
Numerical modelling of Ar glow discharge at intermediate and high pressures
George M. Petrov, Carlos M. Ferreira
A detailed collisional-radiative model for Ar at intermediate and high pressures is developed. The model is coupled with the electron Boltzmann equation and includes several highly…
Parallelization of an implicit algorithm for multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations
George M. Petrov, Jack Davis
The implicit 2D3V particle-in-cell (PIC) code developed to study the interaction of ultrashort pulse lasers with matter [G. M. Petrov and J. Davis, Computer Phys. Comm. 179, 868 (2…
