We compare the reduced non-local electron transport model developed by Schurtz et
al.[Phys. Plasmas 7, 4238 (2000)] to Vlasov-Fokker-Planck simulations. Two new test cases …

With the advent of ultrashort high intensity laser pulses, laser absorption during the laser–
solid interactions has received significant attention over the last two decades since it is …

The Faraday effect, caused by a magnetic-field-induced change in the optical properties,
takes place in a vast variety of systems from a single atomic layer of graphenes to huge …

Classical molecular-dynamics simulations (CMDS) have been conducted to investigate one
of the main mechanisms responsible for absorption of radiation by matter, namely …

The nonlinear evolution of driven ion acoustic waves (IAWs) in plasmas with super-
Gaussian electron distribution functions (EDFs) is numerically investigated by one …

This paper describes a computational model that self-consistently combines physics of
kinetic electrons and atomic processes in a single framework. The formulation consists of a …

We present particle-in-cell simulations with Monte Carlo collisions of fusion burn waves in
compressed deuterium–tritium and proton–boron plasmas. We study the energy balance in …

Vlasov–Fokker–Planck simulation codes occupy an important niche in modeling laser-
produced plasmas, since they are well suited to studying the effect of collisions on electron …

The standard picture of the Coulomb logarithm in the ideal plasma is controversial, the
arguments for the lower cut off need revision. The two cases of far subthermal and of far …

With increasing laser peak power, the generation and manipulation of high-power laser
pulses become a growing challenge for conventional solid-state optics due to their limited …
