Laser powered dielectric structures achieve high-gradient particle acceleration by taking advantage of modern laser technology capable of producing electric fields in excess of 10GV/m. These fields can drive the bulk dielectric beyond its…
An electron diffraction technique is used to study the structure of clusters formed in an isentropically expanding supersonic argon jet. The formation of the hcp phase with increasing cluster size is reliably detected for the first time.…
We study the fragmentation of a liquid drop that is hit by a laser pulse. The drop expands into a thin sheet that breaks by the radial expulsion of ligaments from its rim and the nucleation and growth of holes on the sheet. By combining…
Collisions between high intensity laser pulses and energetic electron beams are now used to measure the transition between the classical and quantum regimes of light-matter interactions. However, the energy spectrum of…
The condensation of zinc oxide nano clusters produced in gas phase has been evidenced in the ablation of a ZnO solid target by a pulsed ArF laser. We compare the spatio-temporal evolution of the shape of ZnO ablated plasma plume, both in…

The interaction of intense laser pulses with nano-scale particles leads to the production of high-energy electrons, ions, neutral atoms, neutrons and photons. Up to now, investigations have focused on near-infrared to X-ray laser pulses…
Intense 3-cycle pulses (10 fs) of 800 nm laser light are utilized to measure energy distributions of ions emitted following Coulomb explosion of Ar$_n$ clusters ($n$=400-900) upon their irradiation by peak intensitis of 5$\times$10$^{14}$ W…
Electrical excitation of light using inelastic electron tunneling is a promising approach for the realization of ultra-compact on-chip optical sources with high modulation bandwidth. However, the practical implementation of these nanoscale…
The adsorption of Ag$_3$ and Ag$_4$ clusters on the $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) surface is explored with density functional theory. Within each adsorbed cluster, two different cluster-surface interactions are present. We find that silver…

Electron-glasses can be readily driven far from equilibrium by a variety of means. Several mechanisms to excite the system and their relative merits are reviewed. In this study we focus on the process of exciting electron-glasses by…
We show that atoms subject to laser radiation may form a non-additive many-body system on account of their long-range forces, when the atoms are trapped in the vicinity of a fiber with a Bragg grating. When the laser frequency is inside the…
Polymer droplets subjected to a heated environment have significance in several fields ranging from spray drying and powder formation to surface coating. In the present work, we investigate the evaporation of a high viscoelastic modulus…
