Experimental observations and modeling of nanoparticle formation in laser-produced expanding plasma
Emilien Lescoute,L. Hallo,David Hebert,B. Chimier,Bertrand Etchessahar,Vladimir Tikhonchuk,J.-M. Chevalier,Patrick Combis +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental observations of fragments and nanoparticles in plasma plumes created from gold targets are presented, and compared with theoretical models of vapor condensation and microparticle formation.

Formation of nanocavities in dielectrics: A self-consistent modeling
C. Mézel,L. Hallo,A. Bourgeade,David Hebert,Vladimir Tikhonchuk,B. Chimier,Boniface Nkonga,Guy Schurtz,G. Travaillé +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent model is developed that describes the energy deposition by a full set of Maxwell's equations in the three-dimensional geometry and it accounts for nonlinear propagation phenomena in the femtosecond time scale.

Modeling the solid-to-plasma transition for laser imprinting in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion.
Guillaume Duchateau,Suxing Hu,A. Pineau,Arnab Kar,B. Chimier,Alexis Casner,Vladimir Tikhonchuk,Vladimir Tikhonchuk,V. N. Goncharov,P. B. Radha,E. M. Campbell +10 more
TL;DR: A model describing the solid-to-plasma transition, eventually aiming at being implemented in hydrocodes, is developed and shows that a time about 100 ps is required for the matter to undergo the phase transition, the initial solid state thus having a notable impact on the subsequent plasma dynamics.
Modeling of cluster organization in metal-doped oxide glasses irradiated by a train of femtosecond laser pulses
E. O. Smetanina,B. Chimier,Yannick Petit,Nadezda Varkentina,Evelyne Fargin,Lionel Hirsch,Thierry Cardinal,Lionel Canioni,Guillaume Duchateau +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model for the formation of noble metallic clusters induced by a train of femtosecond laser pulses was presented. Butt et al. used the model to reproduce the formation structure of cluster structures in silver-doped phosphate glass.

Thermo-elasto-plastic simulations of femtosecond laser-induced structural modifications: Application to cavity formation in fused silica
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D plane geometry and implemented in a hydrodynamic Lagrangian code is used to predict cracks in the bulk of fused silica in the presence of a tightly focused laser beam.
