EOS data experiments for plastic foams using smoothed laser beams

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The importance of foams on laser-produced plasmas has been recently pointed out. In this paper EOS measurements of plastic porous materials have been experimentally determined using ns laser pulses smoothed with phase zone plates. Foams of density in the range 50-200 mg cm-3 and thickness about 20 microns were used. An original scheme for the targets has been designed which allowed us to obtain, for the first time, EOS data for pressures between 0.2-0.8 Mbar. Results are discussed and compared with EOS models.
