Highly ordered vertical nickel nanotubes and nanowires on thin substrate for high power lasers experiments.

ABSTRACT: Nanostructured targets showed improved interaction with ultra-intense laser pulses in comparison to planar ones, both in simulations and in experiments. By increasing the surface area, the absorption and conversion efficiency of the laser energy to the accelerated particle energy are enhanced due to volumetric heating, leading to advanced proton acceleration, x-ray emission, ultra-high energy density matter creation, and terabar pressure generation. This work is focused on exploring the limits of the electrodeposition methods for the fabrication of nanostructured targets suitable for ultra-intense laser experiments at focused intensities as high as 10²³W/cm². The geometrical characteristics of the nanostructures are expanded to meet a wide range of experimental requir
