摘要：The influence of a high-intensity laser field on the Coulomb explosion and stopping power for a swift C-60 cluster ion in a plasma target is studied by means of the molecular dynamics method based on the linearized Vlasov-Poisson theory. In the presence of the laser field, the general expressions for the induced potential in the target among the ions within the cluster are derived. Based on the numerical solution of the equations of motion for the constituent ions, the Coulomb explosion patterns and the cluster's stopping power are discussed for a range of laser and plasma parameters. Numerical results show that the laser field affects the correlation between the ions and contributes to weakening the wake effect and the stopping power as compared to the laser-free case. On the other hand, the vicinage effects in the cluster Coulomb explosion dynamics and the stopping power are strongly affected by the variations in the laser parameters, cluster speed, and plasma parameters. For example, Coulomb explosions are found to be hindered in the longitudinal expansion with the increasing of laser intensity and laser angle, and the Coulomb explosions proceed faster for lower plasma densities and higher electron temperatures.
