Broadband dielectric function of nonequilibrium warm dense gold.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the first single-state measurement of the broadband (450-800 nm) dielectric function of gold isochorically heated by a femtosecond laser pulse to energy densities of 10(6) - 10(7) J/kg. A Drude and an interband component are clearly seen in the imaginary part of the dielectric function. The Drude component increases with energy density while the interband component shows both enhancement and redshift. This is in strong disagreement with predictions of a recent calculation of dielectric function based on limited Brillouin zone sampling.

متن کاملThomson Scattering in Warm Dense Matter
The scattering of photons in plasmas is an important diagnostic tool. The region of warm dense matter can be probed by x-ray Thomson scattering. The scattering cross section is related to the dynamic structure factor S(k, ω). We focus on the contribution of free electrons to the dielectric function which is calculated in the Born–Mermin approximation. The inclusion of collisions modifies the dy...
متن کاملVisualization of expanding warm dense gold and diamond heated rapidly by laser-generated ion beams
With the development of several novel heating sources, scientists can now heat a small sample isochorically above 10,000 K. Although matter at such an extreme state, known as warm dense matter, is commonly found in astrophysics (e.g., in planetary cores) as well as in high energy density physics experiments, its properties are not well understood and are difficult to predict theoretically. This...
متن کاملTheory of X-Ray Thomson Scattering
The scattering of photons in plasmas is an important diagnostic tool. The region of warm dense matter can be probed by x-ray Thomson scattering. This requires intense x-ray sources, such as the free electron laser (FEL) at DESY Hamburg. We improve the standard treatment of the scattering on free electrons within the random phase approximation (RPA) by including collisions. The dynamic collision...
متن کاملSingle-state measurement of electrical conductivity of warm dense gold.
We report on a single-state measurement of electrical conductivity of warm dense gold in the solid to plasma transition regime. This is achieved using the idealized slab plasma approach of isochoric heating of ultrathin samples by a femtosecond laser, coupled with femtosecond probe measurements of reflectivity and transmission. The experiment also reveals the time scale associated with the disa...
