Dental caries remains a significant global health issue. It was highlighted by the World
Health Organization's 2022 reports that despite the efforts and scientific advancements in …

The Interaction of High-Power Lasers with Plasmas provides a thorough self-contained
discussion of the physical processes occurring in laser-plasma interactions, including a …

An experiment shows that equations of state of solid matter at pressure P= 10–50 Mbar can
be studied by using lasers with pulse energy E≈ 100 J. Laser beams smoothed by phase …

This perspective addresses the study of" extreme" states of matter created by laser pulses.
We define" warm dense states" and" high energy density", their importance in physics, how …

The ablation pressure at a 0.44-μm laser wavelength has been measured at irradiance up to
2× 10 14 W/cm 2. The diagnostics consisted in the detection of shock breakout from stepped …

We report experimental data on the equation of state of gold in the pressure range 2–10 TPa
obtained using laser-driven shock waves. The experiments have been realized using an …

High quality shock waves with direct-and indirect-laser drive were generated. We used the
phase zone plate smoothing technique in the case of direct drive and thermal x rays from …

This paper describes the results of a series of experiments conducted with the PALS laser at
intensities of interest for the shock ignition approach to inertial fusion. In particular, we …

This paper deals with an adhesion test of coatings using laser-driven shock waves. Physical
aspects concerning laser–matter interaction, shock wave propagation and interface fracture …

The applicability of foams to equation of state experiments with laser-produced shocks has
been studied. The pressure increase due to impedance mismatch at the payload-foam …
