Dynamics Behaviors of a Laser Produced Plasma: Theoretical Approach

Expansion dynamics of laser produced plasma

We consider the applicability of the isentropic, adiabatic gas dynamical model of plume expansion for laser ablation in vacuum. We show that the model can be applied to ionized plumes and estimate the upper electron temperature limit on the applicability of the isentropic approximation. The model predictions are compared with Langmuir ion probe measurements and deposition profiles obtained for ...

Dynamics of ZnO laser produced plasma in high pressure argon

Laser-produced plasma-wall interaction

Jets of laser–generated plasma represent a flexible and well-defined model environment for investigation of plasma interactions with solid surfaces (walls). The pilot experiments carried out on the iodine laser system (5–200 J, 0.44 mm, 0.25–0.3 ns, ,1 10 W/cm) at the PALS Research Centre in Prague are reported. Modification of macroscopic characteristics of the Al plasma jets produced at laser...

Structure of an exploding laser-produced plasma.

We describe the first-ever volumetric, time-resolved measurements performed with a moving probe within an expanding dense plasma, embedded in a background magnetized plasma. High-resolution probe measurements of the magnetic field and floating potential in multiple 2D cut planes combined with a 1 Hz laser system reveal complex three-dimensional current systems within the expanding plasma. Stati...

Characterization of Expanding Laser Plasma Produced by Laser Ablation

This work is devoted to characterizing the plasma produced by nanosecond laser ablation. The expanding plasma was generated by the interaction of a home made XeCl excimer laser with a Cu target. The time-of-flight method was utilized as diagnostic tool of the plasma charged particles. By this method, in fact, we were able to measure the ion and electron currents, the charge-states and the energ...
