We show with molecular dynamics simulations that spinodal decomposition is a probable initiation mechanism of spallation in impact-melted samples at extremely high strain rates. The formation of voids or bubbles is a secondary process following the spinodal amplification of density fluctuations. As a result, the spallation strength can be related to the inherent thermodynamic property of the liquid, i.e., the liquid-gas spinodal curve, which can be determined by independent equation-of-state studies in prior. This connection between high strain-rate spallation and spinodal decomposition may be further examined in future experiments.

Understanding electronic interactions in high-temperature superconductors is an outstanding challenge. In the widely studied cuprate materials, experimental evidence points to strong electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling and broad photoemission spectra. Yet, the microscopic origin of this behavior is not fully understood. Here, we study e-ph interactions and polarons in a prototypical parent (undoped) cuprate, La2CuO4 (LCO), by means of first-principles calculations. Leveraging parameter-free Hubbard-corrected density functional theory, we obtain a ground state with the band gap and Cu magnetic moment in nearly exact agreement with experiments. This enables a quantitative characterization of e-ph interactions. Our calculations reveal two classes of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons with strong e-ph coupling to hole states. These modes consist of bond stretching and bond bending in the Cu-O plane as well as vibrations of apical O atoms. The hole spectral functions, obtained with a cumulant method that can capture strong e-ph coupling, exhibit broad quasiparticle peaks with a small spectral weight (Z≈0.25) and pronounced LO-phonon sidebands characteristic of polaron effects. Our calculations predict features observed in photoemission spectra, including a 40-meV peak in the e-ph coupling distribution function not explained by existing models. These results show that the universal strong e-ph coupling found experimentally in doped lanthanum cuprates is also present in the parent compound, and elucidate its microscopic origin.

Spin-orbit (SO) splitting in open-shell diatomic molecules gives rise to unique doublet electronic states and a wide range of rotational spectra. In spite of high importance of SO effect its manifestation at interaction with ultrashort and intense ultraviolet (UV) laser pulses is weakly studied. Our simulations confirm clearly manifestations of nonlinear phenomena in SO-splitting fragment spectra as the UV pulse intensity increases. These nonlinear effects in kinetic energy release and photofragment angular distribution spectra clearly reflect the SO splitting of the Π state and the R−Ω coupling (R is the nuclear rotational angular momentum and Ω=Λ+Σ is the projection of total angular momentum on the molecule axis). We show that in case of nonresolved rotational excitation the R−Ω coupling on doublet-state transitions can be effectively approximated as the R−Λ coupling, as for a singlet state, yet including actual SO splitting on the potential energy curve of the doublet Π state. The present investigation not only reveals the nonlinear SO-splitting effects on photodissociation dynamics induced by intense UV pulses, but also provides practical approaches for efficient modeling of the photoinduced ultrafast nuclear dynamics incorporating the SO-splitting phenomena.

Early hot electron can preheat the pellet fuel and thus lead to lower implosion performance. The properties of hot electrons in early stage of implosion experiments in Shenguang-100 kJ laser facility were investigated. It was shown that both the temperature and the energy of early hot electrons were very low. The upper limit of the temperature and the energy of early hot electrons in our experiments were only 7.7 keV and 0.35 J, respectively. Besides, the generation mechanisms of early hot electrons were also different from NIF experiments according to the results of the hard X-ray imager (HXI). In NIF experiments, two-plasmon decay and multi-beam stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) were dominate mechanisms that generate early hot electrons. However, SRS of the outer beams was our dominant mechanism. Spectrum of the scattered light of SRS was obtained by radiative hydrodynamic and ray-tracing simulations. The result showed that the spectrum was peaked at $$\lambda _\textrm{s}=482\,\hbox {nm}$$ , which meant hot electrons with the temperature near 7keV can be generated. And from the result of HXI, hot electrons deposited onto the pellet were estimated to less than $$6.8\times 10^{-3}$$ J. Deeper analysis showed that, in the beam overlapping region, the plasma density was unsuitable for multi-beam SRS, so no hot electrons with larger temperature were generated.
