Figure 2
Position–time plot showing the pressure-loading history in the Sn sample (−250 to −290 µm) and plastic confinement region (−100 to −250 µm) for a laser intensity of 40 GW cm−2 using the Esther hydrocode. The dashed line indicates the loading interface between sample and plastic confinement and represents the pressure profile shown in Fig. 3 as a function of time. The laser is incident from the positive relative direction and focused to the plastic–Sn interface. |
