Cryogenically Enhanced Laser-Induced Amorphous Phase Transitions in Crystalline Silicon
Conrad Kuz, Andy Lee, Shashu Tomar +6
Amorphization of silicon is crucial to applications in photonics, microelectronics and solar cell technologies. Ultrafast lasers have been used to generate amorphous silicon from c…
Effect of front surface engineering on high energy electron, X-ray and heavy ion generation from Relativistic laser interaction with thick high-Z targets
J. Twardowski, C. Kuz, A. S. Bogale +20
Relativistic lasers on solid targets generate hot electrons, and other secondary particles. These particles can be used for radiography, cancer therapy, or isochoric heating. A low…
Highly Efficient Second/Third Harmonic Generation in van der Waals Layered Material AgScP2S6 with Anisotropic Polarization and Temperature Dependence
Mohamed Yaseen Noor, Ryan Siebenaller, Wenhao Liu +12
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and nonlinear optical measurements, especially second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG/THG) are comprehensively investigated for the van der Waa…
Single shot multi-time frame imaging of plasmas with a frequency tagged GHz pulse train
Justin Twardowski, Conrad Kuz, Mohamed Yaseen Noor +4
Studying plasma dynamics is crucial for understanding processes like inertial confinement fusion, material damage, and shockwave formation from intense laser or current interaction…
