Molecules and Clusters in Intense Laser Fields
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2003
Extract
The interaction of intense laser light with molecules and clusters is a rapidly evolving research area. Its attraction lies in both the underlying fundamental physics and the prospects for applications. The interaction of intense laser light with rare-gas clusters, for instance, leads to megaelectron volt electrons, multikiloelectron volt ions, and bright X-ray emission. In laser-irradiated D2 clusters, thermonuclear fusion has been achieved.
