飞秒脉冲烧蚀单晶硅的超快动力学

利用基于Pump-probe系统的超快时间分辨阴影图的方法,研究了空气中飞秒激光烧蚀单晶硅的动力学过程。实验采用脉宽为50 fs、平均能量密度约35 J/cm2的单脉冲激光烧蚀单晶硅,获取飞秒激光烧蚀单晶硅过程中等离子体和冲击波的形成和发展过程的时间分辨阴影图。实验结果表明:飞秒激光烧蚀单晶硅导致其表面物质喷发的过程是不连续的,分为明显的两次喷发过程。这表明飞秒激光与单晶硅作用的过程中,在不同的时间段可能由不同的机制主导,在前期可能是多光子电离为主,在后期可能是由多光子效应和雪崩效应共同作用。研究还发现,延迟时间较长时,冲击波形状发生畸变。     

Ablation of metals by ultrashort laser pulses: Theoretical modeling and computer simulations

Laser ablation of metals by femto- and picosecond pulses is analytically and numerically studied within the framework of the plasma model for the ablated material. Ablation is initiated by high-power thermal and hydrodynamic waves which propagate into the irradiated material. Analytical expressions for the thermal ablation and for the ablation by the shock wave are obtained. Numerical simulations with the computer code RAPID are in good agreement with analytical results.

Inhomogeneous structures formed in a relativistic gas layer by a gravitational-wave background

Analyzing exact integrable models for the evolution of a relativistic gas layer, it is shown that the development of nonequilibrium processes, initiated by an intensive gravitational wave field, results in the formation of inhomogeneous structures, properties of which are defined by the nature of the boundary conditions, the thickness of the gas layer, and the field intensity of the gravitational wave.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 109–114, August, 1991.     

非均匀炸药冲击起爆和起爆后的行为

 介绍并分析了Campbell 等人及其他作者研究非均匀炸药冲击起爆和起爆后行为所获得的实验结果,但不涉及其冲击起爆条件。足够强的冲击波进入非均匀炸药后,爆轰将瞬时（指不经过感应时间）且直接（指不经过其他过程,如爆燃）被引发;非均匀炸药起爆后,其中传播的自始至终是一个不断增长的爆轰波,直至发展为正常爆轰,整个过程都是爆轰的增长（新定义）过程。不存在由反应冲击波不断增长并转变为爆轰波的所谓向爆轰的增长。所谓向爆轰的增长,实际上是爆轰的增长（按新定义）的初期;Craig原定义的爆轰的增长,实际上是爆轰的增长（按新定义）的后期;而所谓反应冲击波,实际上是增长中的初期爆轰波。爆轰的增长（按新定义）是所有猛炸药的特性,炸药反应不充分并逐渐趋于充分是爆轰的增长的化学机制。     

Imitation of wave processes by generating an electric explosion of conductors in nonuniformly heated materials

A new method for imitating wave processes in nonuniformly heated materials by means of the electroexplosion of conductors was proposed. The problem of a planar high-current discharge initiated by the explosion of a foil in the air was solved in the 1D approximation of magnetic radiation gas dynamics with regard to the dependence of the conductivity of the foil on the density and temperature of the material during electroexplosion, a dependence that characterizes the specifics of the state of the material in various areas of the phase diagram. The main parameters of the electroexplosion setup were selected. A special construction of the loading unit was developed, which eliminates the effect of current contraction in a planar conductor and ensures a uniform distribution of current over the foil and, consequently, a uniform distribution of the pressure pulse momentum over the surface area of loading. A method for imitating the temperature profile in the sample was proposed. A procedure for measuring the integral pressure pulse momentum under conditions of intense electromagnetic disturbances was developed.

含微孔洞脆性材料的冲击响应特性与介观演化机制

微孔洞显著地影响着脆性材料的冲击响应,理解其介观演化机制和宏观响应规律将使微孔洞有利于而无害于脆性材料的工程应用.通过建立能够准确表现材料弹性性质和断裂演化的格点-弹簧模型,本文揭示了孔洞的演化对于脆性材料的影响.冲击下孔洞导致的塌缩变形和从孔洞发射的剪切裂纹所导致的滑移变形产生了显著的应力松弛,并调制了冲击波的传播.在多孔脆性材料中,冲击波逐渐展宽为弹性波和变形波.变形波在宏观上类似于延性金属材料的塑性波,在介观上对应于塌缩变形和滑移变形过程.样品中的气孔率决定了脆性材料的弹性极限,气孔率和冲击应力共同影响着变形波的传播速度和冲击终态的应力幅值.含微孔洞脆性材料在冲击波复杂加载实验、功能材料失效的预防、建筑物防护等方面具有潜在的应用价值.所获得的冲击响应规律有助于针对特定应用优化设计脆性材料的冲击响应和动态力学性能.     

Generation of large fifth-order nonlinear phase shifts by use of lossless χ(2) cascaded nonlinear processes

It is shown that the cascaded fifth-order nonlinear phase shifts will increase with energy loss in the cascaded processes. Essentially different from the multi-photon absorption accompanied with inherent material nonlinearities, the loss of fundamental wave in a cascaded process is controllable and suppressible. By introducing difference frequencies generated from the reaction between the fundamental and its second harmonic after the cascaded processes, the fundamental wave can be free of energy loss, while the large cascaded fifth-order nonlinear phase shift is maintained.     

Electronic structure,optical dielectric constant and born effective charge of EuAlO3

EuAlO₃ (EAO) is synthesized by the sol–gel process. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction data shows that the material has orthorhombic structure with Pbnm space group. The density functional theory calculations are initiated with the experimental lattice parameters. The full potential linearized augmented plane wave method and projector augmented wave method are used to investigate the ground state properties of EAO. An indirect band gap of 1.8 eV is observed with the valence band maximum at the Γ point and the conduction band minimum at the R point. The X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of EAO are obtained in the energy window of 0–1000 eV. Using the electronic density of states, the valence band (VB) spectrum of EAO is generated and compared with the observed VB-XPS spectrum. The optical dielectric constant and the refractive index of the material are calculated for the photon energy radiation. The optical properties show a considerable anisotropy in the material. The Born effective charge of various elements and the dielectric tensor of EAO have been calculated.

Time-resolved shadowgraphs of material ejection in intense femtosecond laser ablation of aluminum

The dynamic process of intense 50 fs laser ablation of aluminum is investigated by ultrafast time-resolved microscopy. A stripe pattern preceding phase explosion is clearly seen in the shadowgraph of 1 ns time delay. Intermittent material ejections are observed within the ejected plume after 2.5 and 7 ns time delay, respectively, which may be attributed to the material response to the generation of an extremely strong thermoelastic wave. Similar processes are also recorded in the ablation of silicon and glass samples, except for the glass samples, the intermittent material ejections are not found.     

Control over the instability wave in terms of the two-dimensional model of a nozzle edge

The problem of generation of an instability wave leaving the edge of a half-plane that separates an immobile medium from a moving medium is considered. It is assumed that the instability wave is initiated by an acoustic wave arriving from the moving medium. The possibility of suppressing the instability wave by another acoustic wave incident from the nonflowing medium is considered. It is shown that the suppression is always possible by adjusting the amplitude and phase of the control perturbation to the parameters of the instability wave.

Relaxation of the director field in the form of a traveling wave in twisted nematic cells

The orientational relaxation of the director field toward its equilibrium orientation in the form of a traveling wave is investigated. It is shown that the nonlinear relaxation can occur in the form of a traveling wave in a twisted nematic cell under specific conditions for the external electric field and material parameters characterizing the nematic liquid crystal. The calculations of the relaxation processes in the form of traveling waves have demonstrated that these nonlinear processes in the twisted nematic cell proceed more easily when the initial perturbation of the director is induced in the vicinity of one of the bounding cell surfaces.     

A theoretical model for ice primary nucleation induced by acoustic cavitation

The modelling and simulation of ice nucleation triggered by acoustic cavitation was addressed in this study. The objective was to evaluate the number of nuclei generated by a single gas bubble and afterwards by a multi-bubble system as function of the acoustic pressure (ultrasound wave amplitude) and supercooling level (liquid temperature). According to our calculations, the nucleation could be initiated with moderated acoustic pressure amplitude (around one bar) even at low supercooling levels (around few degrees). These results may provide a sound basis for the control of ice crystal size and morphology which is a key issue in industrial freezing and freeze-drying processes.     

Electron-optical study of the initial phase of subnanosecond pulsed electric breakdown of gas-filled gaps

The glow accompanying the breakdown of gas gaps with a strong overvoltage by voltage pulses with 1-ns and shorter fronts is studied by electron optics methods. The filling of the gap with glow was accompanied by the development of ionization wave processes originating in the bulk of the gas and controlling the first stage of the breakdown. The dynamics of evolution of ionization waves in the electrode gap was analyzed in the 1D approximation. The results of calculations are in qualitative agreement with experiment. This leads to the conclusion that breakdown can be initiated from the bulk of the gas rather than from the surface of the electrodes. At this stage, the electrodes are mainly required for producing the electric field in the gap.     

Dynamic compaction of copper powder: 2D numerical simulation and experimental results

Abstract

A method for plate-impact dynamic compaction of copper powder has been developped. The optimization of the experimental set-up (impedance adjustments, tensile wave traps, relative thickness of impactor and target,…) is presented.

2D axisymetrical numerical simulations have been performed with a Lagrangian finite element code. Geometrical characteristics of the experimental set-up as well as the dynamic response of the powder (Reaugh equation of state) and of the material of the set-up have been taken into account. These simulations show that, due to the difference in shock velocities in the container and in the powder, the powder is submitted to 2D loading waves. As a matter of fact the powder may be loaded by a non-planar shock wave propagating in the as-expected direction, as well as by a sweeping wave initiated at the bottom of the powder container, and propagating obliquely from the bottom-up. This second wave loads the bottom of the powder first. The influence of the impactor thickness as well as its material on the shock front shape and on the shock density-pressure history of the material has been studied. 1D simulations are shown not to evaluate properly the stress history and the energy deposition in the powder sample.

Metallographic observations as well as X-ray tomography experiments have been performed on consolidated samples. A very good agreement has been found between results of 2D numerical simulations and the observed final shape and density maps of the samples. The shape of deformed powder particles are also in agreement with the expected shock history.     

A study of dynamics and chemical reactions in laser-ablated PbTiO3 plume by optical-wavelength-sensitive CCD photography

3 (PT) in ambients of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon was studied by using a CCD camera. Two optical filters with different transmittance bands were used to identify the excitation, dissociation, ionization, and, especially, the chemical reactions in the plume. The results show that the atomic processes and chemical reaction mechanisms in the plume formed in active oxygen are very different from those formed in inert argon and nitrogen. It is proposed that the chemical reactions between ablated metal species and ambient oxygen are initiated by the strong shock wave formed during the propagation of the PT plume.
