Fundamental mechanisms of nanosecond-laser-ablation enhancement by an axial magnetic field

A steady magnetic field perpendicular to a laser beam is widely used to improve the rate and quality of laser ablation. Recently, we reported a 69-fold enhancement of laser ablation of silicon using a magnetic field parallel to a laser beam. To understand the fundamental mechanisms of that phenomeno...
