中等光强纳秒激光电离苯团簇产生多价碳离子的数值模拟和实验研究

飞秒强激光与团簇相互作用产生多价离子的现象已被广泛报道,然而近期多个研究小组发现当功率密度低至1010W/cm2的纳秒激光照射团簇时,同样也观察到了多价离子的存在.虽然可以用"多光子电离引发-逆韧致吸收加热-电子碰撞电离"电离机理对这种现象进行解释,但是缺乏相应的数值模拟.建立了一个简化的数值模型,根据有质动力势Up计算团簇内电子能量,再由Lotz公式计算出相应的电离截面,最后由动力学反应速率方程计算出团簇内多价碳离子随时间的演变.详细分析了团簇尺寸、电子密度等关键参数对多价离子产生的影响.数值模拟结果表明:团簇电离在小于0.7 ns时间尺度内完成,C2+,C3+和C4+多价离子强度达到平衡后,离子相对强度由大到小依次为C2+,C3+,C4+,这与实验结果相一致;多价离子的价态随着团簇尺寸的增加而升高,半径为5.6 nm的苯团簇比半径为3 nm的苯团簇更容易产生高价态的离子,这也与实验结果相一致.     

A cold thermionically emitting dusty air plasma formed by radiativeheating of graphite particulates

Formation of an atmospheric pressure dusty air plasma is explored experimentally in this paper. The plasma is created by seeding an air flow with graphite particles and irradiating the particulates with a focused CO₂ laser beam. The graphite particles are, thus, heated to thermionically emitting temperatures, and average particle temperatures and average particle number densities are measured. The presence of charges is inferred both from these measured quantities using a simple theoretical transient model, and experimentally by applying a dc bias across the irradiated region. It is found that an electron density of ~6.7 × 10⁵ cm^-3 (6.7 × 10¹¹ m^-3) can be produced at steady state in the presence of O₂. This value can be increased to 3.6 × 10⁷ cm^-3 (3.6 × 10¹³ m ^-1) in the ideal case where an electron attachment to O₂ is suppressed and where a lower work function particulate is used     

Superthermal Electron Produced in Relativistic Laser-Plasma Interaction

The dynamics of a relativistic electron submitted to an intense, plane wave, linearly polarized laser field is reviewed. Based on the dynamics, the temperature of the electron in the laser field is defined and calculated. It is found that the calculated temperature fits the first temperature observed in the experiment by Malka et al. A model to evaluate the electron temperature by taking the electron-ion scattering into account is proposed. It is found that when I≥4.0×10¹⁸ W/cm² the electron temperature by considering the scattering, T_h^s, is evidently larger than the electron temperature without considering the scattering, T_h. This result is in favor of explaining the two-temperature distribution of the electron energy observed in the experiment by Malka et al.     

Further Acceleration of MeV Electrons by a Relativistic Laser Pulse

With the development of photocathode rf electron gun, electrons with high-brightness and mono-energy can be obtained easily. By numerically solving the relativistic equations of motion of an electron generated from this facility in laser fields modelled by a circular polarized Gaussian laser pulse, we find the electron can obtain high energy gain from the laser pulse. The corresponding acceleration distance for this electron driven by the ascending part of the laser pulse is much longer than the Rayleigh length, and the light amplitude experienced on the electron is very weak when the laser pulse overtakes the electron. The electron is accelerated effectively and the deceleration can be neglected. For intensities around 10¹⁹ W•μm²/cm², an electron's energy gain near 0.1 GeV can be realized when its initial energy is 4.5 MeV, and the final velocity of the energetic electron is parallel with the propagation axis. The energy gain can be up to 1 GeV if the intensity is about 10²¹ W•μm²/cm². The final energy gain of the electron as a function of its initial conditions and the parameters of the laser beam has also been discussed.     

BaF radical: A promising candidate for laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping

Recently, there have been great interest and advancement in the field of laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of molecules. The rich internal structure of molecules naturally lends themselves to extensive and exciting applications. In this paper, the radical~(138)Ba~(19) F, as a promising candidate for laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping, is discussed in detail.The highly diagonal Franck–Condon factors between the X~2Σ~+_(1/2)and A~2Π_(1/2) states are first confirmed with three different methods. Afterwards, with the effective Hamiltonian approach and irreducible tensor theory, the hyperfine structure of the X~2Σ~+_(1/2)state is calculated accurately. A scheme for laser cooling is given clearly. Besides, the Zeeman effects of the upper(A~2Π_(1/2)) and lower(X~2Σ~+_(1/2)) levels are also studied, and their respective g factors are obtained under a weak magnetic field.Its large g factor of the upper state A~2Π_(1/2) is advantageous for magneto-optical trapping. Finally, by studying Stark effect of Ba F in the X~2Σ~+_(1/2), we investigate the dependence of the internal effective electric field on the applied electric field. It is suggested that such a laser-cooled Ba F is also a promising candidate for precision measurement of electron electric dipole moment.     

Electron orbit in a combined plasma wave wiggler and an axial guidemagnetic field free electron laser near magnetoresonance

The nonlinear electron orbit dynamics is presented for a combined electrostatic plasma wave wiggler and an axial guide magnetic field free electron laser near magnetoresonance. The perpendicular orbit equation is derived and simplified identical to the wave-driven nonlinear oscillator equation but with different expressions of parameters. The nonlinear effect induced by the inclusion of β_⊥² in the relativistic factor γ is dominant in governing the perpendicular wiggling velocity and the orbit excursion even in the case of β_⊥²≪β_∥² , where γ=(1-β₁²-β_∥ ²)^-1/2. The dependence of the maximum perpendicular wiggling velocity and the orbit excursion on the wiggler constant, the wiggler frequency, and the initial parameters of motion is given analytically     

Observation of Raman forward scattering and electron accelerationin the relativistic regime

Raman forward scattering (RFS) is observed in the interaction of a high intensity (>10¹⁸ W/cm²) short pulse (<1 ps) laser with an underdense plasma (n_e~10¹⁹ cm ^-3). Electrons are trapped and accelerated up to 44 MeV by the high-amplitude plasma wave produced by RFS. The laser spectrum is strongly modulated by the interaction, showing sidebands at the plasma frequency. Furthermore, as the quiver velocity of the electrons in the high electric field of the laser beam becomes relativistic, various effects are observed which can be attributed to the variation of electron mass with laser intensity
