Unveiling temperature and phase boundaries in laser-driven shocked and released copper: insights from ultra-fast X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy up to 300 GPa

Sofia Balugani, Jean-Alexis Hernandez, Fabien Brieuc +9

Cu is an ubiquitous material used in industry for its great thermal and electrical properties. Studying the high-pressure high temperature properties of copper (Cu) is relevant for…

Understanding XANES spectra of two-temperature warm dense copper using ab initio simulation

N. Jourdain, V. Recoules, L. Lecherbourg +2

Using ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations combined with linear-response theory, we studied the x-ray absorption near-edge spectra (XANES) of a two-temperature dense copper pla…

Ab initio model of optical properties of two-temperature warm dense matter

Bastian Holst, Vanina Recoules, Stephane Mazevet +7

We present a model to describe thermophysical and optical properties of two-temperature systems consisted of heated electrons and cold ions in a solid lattice that occur during ult…

Ultrafast Surface Plasmonic Switch in Non-Plasmonic Metals

E. Bévillon, J. P. Colombier, V. Recoules +3

We demonstrate that ultrafast carrier excitation can drastically affect electronic structures and induce brief surface plasmonic response in non-plasmonic metals, potentially creat…

First-principles calculations of heat capacities of ultrafast laser-excited electrons in metals

Emile Bévillon, Jean-Philippe Colombier, Vanina Recoules +1

Ultrafast laser excitation can induce fast increases of the electronic subsystem temperature. The subsequent electronic evolutions in terms of band structure and energy distributio…

Melting of iron close to Earth's inner core boundary conditions and beyond

M. Harmand, A. Ravasio, S. Mazevet +23

Several important geophysical features such as heat flux at the Core-Mantle Boundary or geodynamo production are intimately related with the temperature profile in the Earth's core…

Free-electron properties of metals under ultrafast laser-induced electron-phonon nonequilibrium: A first-principles study

Emile Bévillon, Jean-Philippe Colombier, Vanina Recoules +1

The electronic behavior of various solid metals (Al, Ni, Cu, Au, Ti, and W) under ultrashort laser irradiation is investigated by means of density functional theory. Successive sta…
