Atomistic Structure and Dynamic Evolution of Shock Waves in Laser-material Interaction
By: Xinwei Wang Department of Mechanical Engineering, Iowa State University This work reports on the pioneering molecular dynamics (MD) modeling of shock waves in laser-material processing. For pulsed laser-assisted material processing with an ambient gas, the fast melting, vaporization, and phase explosion of the target is a very complicated process and will form a strong […]
EUV Microscopy
By: Dirk Wortman Laser induced sub-100 nm structures offer vast potential benefits in photonics, biotechnology, tribological surface design and plasmonic applications. However the dynamics of their generation is not well understood. Research in this field requires high temporal and spatial resolution. In this paper, we report on our efforts on setting upand building an EUV-pump-probe […]
