Abstract. The modelling of heating a spherical polystyrene microparticle by the laser beam having the wavelength 355 nm and varying spot size is described. The simulation results are presented for two different values of the beam spot radius. Nature experiments are reported aimed at measuring the velocity of a particle with the radius 5µm accelerated by microexplosion of the neighbouring particle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
