The interaction of large fast carbon clusters with plasma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2009
Abstract
The energy loss and disintegration dynamics of large carbon clusters (C60 molecules) in hot plasmas is calculated. The calculation self-consistently includes the cluster disintegration, the evolution of the charge of the fragment ions, the screened Coulomb forces among them, and the effects of interference between neighboring ions on the energy loss. A range of projectile energies and plasma parameters is considered. A large enhancement factor in the energy deposition due to the interference is found at the early stage of the interaction.
