Generation of nanoparticles by laser ablation: Combined MD- DSMC computational study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The early stage of the ablation plume formation and the following dynamics of the plume expansion are studied numerically using a combination of molecular dynamics and the direct simulation Monte Carlo methods. The direct cluster ejection from the target and the following cluster-monomer and cluster-cluster collisions are considered. The presence of the ablated clusters is shown to strongly affect the dynamics of the plume expansion, leading to considerable modifications of the plume structure. Plume segregation into two components observed in the simulations is in a good qualitative agreement with the results of recent plume emission measurements.

Formation of nanoparticles by short and ultra-short laser pulses
The main objective of this study is to explain the experimental observations. To simulate material ablation, plume formation and its evolution, we developed a combined molecular dynamics (MD) and direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) computational study of laser ablation plume evolution. The first process of the material ablation is described by the MD method. The expansion of the ejected plume ...

Modeling of phenomena is increasingly being used to obtain an understanding of important physical events as well as to predict properties that can be directly tied to experimental data. For systems with relatively low densities of particles, the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is well suited for modeling gases with non-equilibrium distributions, coupled gasdynamic and reaction effec...
