Molecular-dynamic calculation of the inverse-bremsstrahlung heating of non-weakly-coupled plasmas
Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 70:5 2 (2004)
Abstract:
The inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) heating rates of a plasma as a function of density and laser intensity were calculated using a molecular dynamic (MD) code. The code belonged to the class of particle-particle-particle-mesh codes. The equations solved by the MD code avoided several assumptions which were inherent to alternative methods. The results of the MD code were compared to previous results for plasmas of low coupling. The results of the calculations for dense, moderately coupled plasmas were also presented. An analytic expression for the IB heating rate, based on a fit to the rates calculated by MD code, was also presented.Molecular-dynamic calculation of the inverse-bremsstrahlung heating of non-weakly-coupled plasmas.

Abstract:
A molecular dynamic (MD) code is used to calculate the inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) heating rates of a plasma as a function of density and laser intensity. The code belongs to the class of particle-particle-particle-mesh codes. Since the equations solved by the MD code are fundamental, this approach avoids several assumptions which are inherent to alternative methods, for example those which employ a Coulomb logarithm, and is not restricted to weakly coupled plasmas. The results of the MD code are compared to previously published results for plasmas of low coupling. The results of calculations for dense, moderately coupled plasmas are also presented. An analytic expression for the IB heating rate, based on a fit to the rates calculated by the MD code, is suggested. This expression includes terms nonlinear in the plasma density.41.8-nm Xe8+ laser driven in a plasma waveguide
