摘要

Flanked between isolated atoms/molecules and bulk materials at the two extremes, there exists a unique class of matter known as clusters, which consist of a few to thousands of atoms or molecules held together. Upon irradiation with lasers, these clusters exhibit diverse photochemical behaviours which are altogether different from those of their individual constituents. Coulomb explosion phenomenon is one such facet of laser-cluster photochemistry, which results in the generation of multiply chargedatomic ions and electrons with large kinetic energy. Observation of Coulomb explosion at laser intensities of 1014 W/cm2 and higher, achieved using femtosecond lasers is reasonably well understood. Such cluster-explosion studies have obvious implicationsfor the development of tabletop accelerators. In contrast to the high-intensity studies, the present article summarizes various experiments carried out using nanosecond laser pulses with intensities as small as 109 W/cm2 in our laboratory, that establish the occurrence of Coulomb explosion in molecular clusters. Our present finding regarding utilization of low-cost, rugged and easy to use solid-state nanosecond Nd: YAG laser at comparatively lower laser intensity, for generation of multiply charged atomic ions would provide impetus to laser-cluster interaction studies.
