Multidisciplinary research using charged particle beams

Computational Methods

In the area of strong and ultra-strong laser-solid interactions Dr. Mihai Oane has produced a number of about 30 ISI articles, in which we made few breakthroughs in the following regards:

 

The consideration of laser and/or target anisotropies;

The consideration  of laser high surface absorption;

The consideration of multi-photons processes;

 The consideration of multiple lasers irradiations of the target;

The consideration of nonlinear effects in laser-solid interaction;

The consideration of relativistic and quantum electrodynamics effects;

The development of new kinds of “Two Temperature Models”, for laser-metal interaction;

Models which consider plasma formation.
