| 2 | Transport of ultraintense laser-driven relativistic electrons in dielectric targets显示文摘Ultraintense laser-driven relativistic electrons provide a way of heating matter to high energy density states related to many applications. However, the transport of relativistic electrons in solid targets has not been understood well yet,especially in dielectric targets. We present the first detailed two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of relativistic electron transport in a silicon target by including the field ionization and collisional ionization processes. An ionization wave is found propagating in the insulator, with a velocity dependent on laser intensity and slower than the relativistic electron velocity. Widely spread electric fields in front of the sheath fields are observed due to the collective effect of free electrons and ions. The electric fields are much weaker than the threshold electric field of field ionization. Two-stream instability behind the ionization front arises for the cases with laser intensity greater than 5 × 1019W/cm^2 that produce high relativistic electron current densities. | X.H.Yang C.Ren H.Xu Y.Y.Ma F.Q.Shao | 2020 | High Power Laser Science and Engineering2020，8，1： | 0 |
