Повышение эффективности генерации многозарядных ионов высоких энергий при взаимодействии фемтосекундных релятивистских лазерных импульсов со смешанными кластерами KrXe

Abstract

A new approach is proposed to the production of high-energy ions from a cluster jet irradiated with relativistic (5×10^18 W/cm2) femtosecond laser pulses, based on the formation of mixed clusters with an Xe core surrounded by a Kr shell. The appearance of distinguished charge states of accelerated ions was registered: instead of low-charge Kr2+, Kr3+, Kr4+, Kr5+ for pure Kr clusters, there are three components Kr8+, Kr14+, Kr20+ for mixed KrXe clusters. The energy range of detected ions expands significantly: from 1–6 MeV for Kr clusters to 2–16 MeV for KrXe clusters.
