High-Power Lasers in High-Energy-Density Physics

  • Chapter
Extreme States of Matter

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 216))

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the capabilities of modern laser facilities as applied to high energy density physics. We consider the physical effects that occur when substances are exposed to high-power laser radiation: shock-wave and ultrahigh-pressure generation, cluster plasma explosions, formation of “hollow” ions and high magnetic fields. We consider in detail the mechanics of ultrafast deformations and the thermodynamics for ultrashort laser pulses.
