Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

Femtosecond laser pulses have proven to provide valuable insight into the dynamics of
microscopic systems by using pump–probe techniques. Applied to atomic clusters even a …

The first broad and in-depth overview of current research in attosecond nanophysics,
covering the field of active plasmonics via attosecond science in metals and dielectrics to …

In the few-cycle pulse regime of laser-cluster interaction (intensity> 10 16 W/cm 2,
wavelength> 780 nm), laser absorption is mostly collisionless and may happen via …

We present the first experimental evidence of the subpicosecond duration of x-ray pulses
emitted from laser-irradiated clusters, demonstrating the suitability of such a debris free …

We have experimentally observed anisotropic ion emission from Xe and Ar clusters under
intense ultrashort (<? format?>∼<? format?> 30 fs) laser irradiation, with up to 1.8 times …

We discuss a microscopic particle-in-cell (MicPIC) approach that allows bridging of the
microscopic and macroscopic realms of laser-driven plasma physics. The simultaneous …

The kinetic Boltzmann equation is used to model the non-equilibrium ionization phase that
initiates the evolution of atomic clusters irradiated with single pulses of intense vacuum …

Recent studies [eg, Sci. Rep. 12, 11256 (2022) 10.1038/s41598-022-14816-4] on laser
interaction (for a wavelength of 800 nm and intensity greater than 10 16 W/cm 2) with a …

The full characterization of a time resolved x-ray spectrometer is presented. It is based on
the coupling of a conical crystal with a subpicosecond x-ray streak camera. The detector is …
