Laser-produced plasmas (LPPs) engulf exotic and complex conditions ranging in
temperature, density, pressure, magnetic and electric fields, charge states, charged particle …

Studies related to U gas-phase oxidation through plasma-and thermo-chemistry are
important for many fields, including environmental monitoring, forensic analysis, debris …

The production of a plasma by a pulsed laser beam in solids, liquids or gas is often
associated with the generation of a strong shock wave, which can be studied and interpreted …

The irradiation of the target surface by an ultrafast femtosecond (fs) laser pulse produces the
extreme non-equilibrium states of matter and subsequent phase transformations …

Femtosecond lasers have been applied to machining of zirconia (ZrO_2) ceramics because
of their ultrashort pulse duration and high peak power. However, an unclear understanding …

In this work, a burst mode laser is used for micromachining of 20 µm–250 µm thick Invar
(Fe64/Ni36) foils. Holes were drilled by firing multiple pulses transversely onto the sample …

Ablation of bulk polycrystalline zinc in air is performed with single and multiple picosecond
laser pulses at a wavelength of 1030 nm. The relationships between the characteristics of …

The chemistry evolution in a laser ablation plume depends strongly on its initial physical
conditions. In this article, we investigate the impact of plasma generation conditions on the …

The formation and dynamics of Al and Ag–Ni–Fe plasmas were studied through ICCD
imaging and space-and time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy techniques. The …

Laser ablation is an easily accessible method of producing metallic plasmas in reactive,
atmospheric environments. The use of laser ablation for the study of uranium plasma …
