Journal ArticleDOI
Electron-phonon coupling and electron heat capacity of metals under conditions of strong electron-phonon nonequilibrium
TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of the strength of the electron-phonon coupling and the electron heat capacity on the electron temperature was investigated for eight representative metals, Al, Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pt, W, and Ti.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined atomistic-continuum modeling of short-pulse laser melting and disintegration of metal films
TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetics and microscopic mechanisms of laser melting and disintegration of thin Ni and Au films irradiated by a short, from 200 fs to 150 ps, laser pulse are investigated in a coupled atomistic-continuum computational model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic mechanisms of laser ablation of organic solids in the thermal and stress confinement irradiation regimes
TL;DR: In this paper, large-scale molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the mechanisms responsible for material ejection as well as most of the parameters of the ejection process have a strong dependence on the rate of the laser energy deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomistic Modeling of Short Pulse Laser Ablation of Metals: Connections between Melting, Spallation, and Phase Explosion†
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanisms of short pulse laser interactions with a metal target are investigated in simulations performed with a model combining the molecular dynamics method with a continuum description of laser excitation, electron−phonon equilibration, and electron heat conduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the plume formation and parameters of the ejected clusters in short-pulse laser ablation
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of the early stages of the ablation plume formation and the mechanisms of cluster ejection are investigated in large-scale molecular dynamics simulations and the ejection of the largest droplets is attributed to the hydrodynamic motion in the vicinity of the melted surface, especially active in the regime of stress confinement.
