Angular momentum oscillation in spiral-shaped foil plasmas

Two types of spiral-shaped foils are investigated for generating significant angular momentum (AM) in plasmas by reflecting a relativistic Gaussian pulse into a vortex laser beam with the same topological charge. This is the first time to find that AM oscillation exists in specific spiral-shaped foi...
