Recently, the State Key Laboratory of Laser Physics of Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made new progress in the study of ultra-short-short laser-driven plasma Weber instability and strong magnetic field generation.
Magnetic fields are widely present in the evolution of various celestial bodies and celestial bodies, from 10-5T on the Earth's surface to ultra-high magnetic fields (108-9T) of pulsed neutron stars. Extremely strong magnetic fields in many astrophysical phenomena such as solar flares, gamma ray bursts, supernovae It plays a very important role in accretion disks. The use of ultra-strong ultra-short lasers to drive high-temperature and high-density plasmas to generate strong magnetic fields and magnetic reconnections can simulate many astrophysical processes in the laboratory.
In addition, strong magnetic fields have important applications in the fields of inertial confinement fusion, nuclear physics and materials science. At present, laboratory astrophysics research using laser to drive strong magnetic fields and magnetic reconnections is carried out on large laser devices such as Shenguang and OMEGA, and most of them are based on the Weibo instability mechanism of ions, and the magnetic field strength obtained is 100. Tesla magnitude.
Using a high repetition rate kHz, a few millijoules of femtosecond laser device, the researchers interacted with a high-density solid target by manipulating the pulse sequence, first generating an expanded high-temperature dense plasma hemisphere in the normal direction of the target surface, and then femtoseconds. A strong laser driven high current electron beam induces an increase in Weber instability in the plasma.
In the experiment, by using time-resolved shadow imaging and Faraday magneto-optical polarization rotation measurement, the periodic distribution of electronic filament structure and the strong magnetic field array with intensity up to thousand Tesla and its evolution process were observed. The peak magnetic field strength was 2 kt. Sla, lasts 2 picoseconds.
The study reveals that high-energy electron emission from a dense internal plasma region induced by a strong laser induces a nonlinear growth of electron Weber instability, resulting in electronic filament formation of the periodic structure and amplification of the magnetic field. The research results open up a new way to study high energy density physics and experimental astrophysics using miniaturized laser devices, which can further study and understand the nature of magnetic field generation, amplification, magnetic reconnection and celestial phenomena.
The latest research results have been published in the Physical Review Letters.
