Thermoelectric mechanism for self-generated magnetic field in femtosecond laser-plasma interaction

  • 摘要: 采用理论分析和数值模拟研究了考虑相对论效应的自生磁场及其产生机制,给出了自生磁场的解析表达式,得到了温度梯度和密度梯度的非共线性所引起的自生磁场空间分布的时间演化关系。数值结果表明,当峰值强度为1019 W/cm2的激光作用于凹形靶前表面时,在等离子体表面领域观察到的自生磁场最大值为51102 T量级,与实验测量结果相符合。

     

    Abstract: To understand the self-generated magnetic field induced from the non-parallel property of temperature gradient and density gradient in the ultra-intense laser-plasma interaction, we apply the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation to studying the self-generated magnetic field in consideration of relativistic effects and its generation mechanism, then derive the analytical expressions of self-generated magnetic field, and obtain the time evolution of the spatial distribution of self-generated magnetic field. The simulation results show that once the ultra-intense laser pulse with an intensity of 1019 W/cm2 irradiates the circular concave target, one can observe the self-generated magnetic field with the maximum magnitude at the order of 51102 T on the surface of the plasma, which are consistent with the experimental measurement.
