Rarefaction after fast laser heating of thin metal film on a glass mount: spallation and inflation from one-dimensional to three-dimensional ablation flow
ORAL
Abstract
We numerically and experimentally consider the effect of subpicosecond Ti:sapp laser pump pulse onto 60-100 nm silver and gold films mounted onto a silica substrate. Pump pulse spalls out the film from the substrate. Influence of diameter of a laser irradiated spot 1-100 microns on a film surface is studied. A cupola like spallation shell is flying from the substrate. For the large spot the soft X-ray probe laser is used for measuring the ablation process. The research (NAI, VVZh, VAKh, DKI, YVP, KPM, AYF, TAP) has been performed under financial support from Russian Science Foundation (RSCF) (project No. 14-19-01599).
