Characterizing plasma conditions in radiatively heated solid-density samples with x-ray Thomson scattering

Abstract: We have developed an experimental platform to generate radiatively heated solid density samples for warm dense matter studies at the OMEGA laser facility. Cylindrical samples of boron and beryllium are isochorically-heated by K-and L-shell emission from x-ray converter foils wrapped around the cylinders' radii. X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) measures the temperature and the ionization state of the samples as function of time. Temperatures approach 10 eV, and the ionization states are found to be ZB = 3 and ZB… Show more

“…to optical lasers or ion beams 7,27,30 , and scaling up of targets to enable larger irradiated volumes 7,30 . X-ray heating performed with large optical laser 11,30 , pulsed-power 25 , and free electron laser (FEL) 3,7,9,11,26,27,29 facilities has been demonstrated. Many of these studies used lower photon energies (hundreds of eV to several keV) which can still limit the potential thickness and materials of target components and hence experimental timescales.…”

“…The 8000 atom calculation agrees well with the predictions based on smaller cell sizes, but one significant advantage becomes evident: we can reach very small k values that extrapolate nicely to the compressibility limit S ii (k = 0) = k B T κ T , where k B is the Boltzmann constant and κ T is the compressibility. This is of crucial importance for X-ray Thomson scattering experiments [53][54][55] and the measurement of ion acoustic modes [52].…”

“…Some exact conditions imposed for chemistry and solid-state physics are not relevant to WDM. For example, in contrast to solid-state physics, the surface energy has no significance in WDM, because the generated samples have no well defined surface, but rather transition to a plasma state [57][58][59] . Conversely, there are properties that are highly important in WDM, but have little value for solid-state physics.…”
