Laser-driven nonlinear cluster dynamics

T Fennel, KH Meiwes-Broer, J Tiggesbäumker… - Reviews of modern …, 2010 - APS
Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

A review of astrophysics experiments on intense lasers

BA Remington, RP Drake, H Takabe, D Arnett - Physics of Plasmas, 2000 - pubs.aip.org
Astrophysics has traditionally been pursued at astronomical observatories and on theorists'
computers. Observations record images from space, and theoretical models are developed …

Nuclear fusion from explosions of femtosecond laser-heated deuterium clusters

T Ditmire, J Zweiback, VP Yanovsky, TE Cowan… - Nature, 1999 - nature.com
As a form of matter intermediate between molecules and bulk solids, atomic clusters have
been much studied. Light-induced processes in clusters can lead to photo-fragmentation …

Explosion dynamics of rare gas clusters in strong laser fields

M Lezius, S Dobosz, D Normand, M Schmidt - Physical review letters, 1998 - APS
We have studied the ionic outcome from the interaction of intense laser light with large argon
and xenon clusters. Ions with initial energies of several 100 keV are charge and energy …

[BUCH][B] Introduction to cluster dynamics

PG Reinhard, E Suraud - 2008 - books.google.com
Clusters as mesoscopic particles represent an intermediate state of matter between single
atoms and solid material. The tendency to miniaturise technical objects requires knowledge …

Explosion of atomic clusters heated by high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses

T Ditmire, E Springate, JWG Tisch, YL Shao, MB Mason… - Physical Review A, 1998 - APS
We have experimentally and theoretically studied the high-intensity (> 10 16 W cm− 2),
femtosecond photoionization of inertially confined noble-gas clusters. We have examined …

Characterization of a cryogenically cooled high-pressure gas jet for laser/cluster interaction experiments

RA Smith, T Ditmire, JWG Tisch - Review of scientific instruments, 1998 - pubs.aip.org
Atomic clusters from sources including gas jets1 and effusive ovens2 have been studied for
many years using techniques including infrared spectroscopy, low power optical probing …

Plasma hydrodynamics of the intense laser-cluster interaction

HM Milchberg, SJ McNaught, E Parra - Physical Review E, 2001 - APS
We present a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the intense laser-cluster interaction
in which the laser field is treated self-consistently. We find that for clusters initially as small …

Polyatomic molecules in strong laser fields: Nonadiabatic multielectron dynamics

M Lezius, V Blanchet, MY Ivanov… - The Journal of Chemical …, 2002 - pubs.aip.org
We report the observation and characterization of a new nonresonant strong field ionization
mechanism in polyatomic molecules: Nonadiabatic multi-electron (NME) dynamics. The …
