A study of ultrafast electron diffusion kinetics in ultrashort-pulse laser ablation of metals

Temperature dependence of the electron diffusion in metallic targets, where the electron-lectron collision is the dominant process, is investigated with the help of an extended two-temperature model. In sharp contrast to the low electron temperature case, where only the electron-phonon collisions are commonly considered, the electron diffusion process underlying the high electron temperatures evolves dramatically different in both temporal and spatial domains. Calculated results of the ablation yield at different pulse durations are presented for a copper plate impinged by ultrashort laser pulses with energy fluences ranging from 0.1 J/cm^2 to 10 J/cm^2. The excellent agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data indicates the significant role of electron-electron collisions in material ablations using intense ultrashort laser pulses.

多脉冲飞秒激光烧蚀金属箔的热电子发射数值分析

通过双温模型(TTM)结合Richardson-Dushman方程对多脉冲飞秒激光烧蚀铜箔的热电子发射以及温度场进行了数值模拟。在模拟的过程中充分考虑了随着飞秒激光脉冲个数的改变,铜箔对飞秒激光的反射率、表面吸收率和表面吸收系数的变化等因素,部分改写了飞秒激光光源项,从而实现了多脉冲飞秒激光烧蚀铜箔的热电子发射和温度场的动态数值模拟。数值模拟发现,随着脉冲个数的增加和脉冲间隔的减小,铜箔表面的反射率和表面吸收系数将明显减小,表面吸收率将明显增大,这一变化对铜箔的电子发射以及多脉冲飞秒激光照射下铜箔的温度场具有重要影响;而随着距铜箔表面深度的增加,这些影响将逐渐减小。
