A new mechanism of direct coupling of laser energy to ions
The well-known schemes (e.g. Brunel mechanism, resonance absorption, $\to {J}{\times}\to {B}$ heating etc) couple laser energy to the lighter electron species of the plasma. In this work, a fundamentally new mechanism of laser energy absorption directly to the heavier ion species has been proposed....
