Megagauss magnetic fields on laser irradiated spherical targets

Strong thermo-electric magnetic fields have been obserbed on non-uniformly illuminated microballoon targets at irradiances of 10 13 to 10 14 W cm -2 using a 1.2 ns Nd glass laser heating pulse and a 50 ps Raman shifted second harmonic probe pulse. For uniformly irradiated spherical targets no large...

Summary:Strong thermo-electric magnetic fields have been obserbed on non-uniformly illuminated microballoon targets at irradiances of 10 13 to 10 14 W cm -2 using a 1.2 ns Nd glass laser heating pulse and a 50 ps Raman shifted second harmonic probe pulse. For uniformly irradiated spherical targets no large scale magnetic fields above 100 kG were observed.
