Kinetic model of resonant nanoantennas in polymer for laser induced fusion

Studies of resilience of light-resonant nanoantennas in vacuum are extended to consider the case of polymer embedding. This modifies the nanoantenna’s lifetime and resonant laser pulse energy absorption. The effective resonance wavelength is shortened, the peak momentum of resonantly oscillating electrons in the nanorod is reduced by one-third, while the available lifespan of the resonance condition remains the same. This response is expected to strengthen the laser pulse induced nuclear fusion processes. Related numerical simulations were performed using particle-in-cell method in a simulation box of the size 0.223 μm³, treating the conduction electrons as strongly coupled plasma. In the modeling the polymer background was added with the experimentally measured refractive index of 1.53.

1 Introduction

Recently laser induced fusion with simultaneous volume ignition, a spin-off from relativistic heavy ion collisions, was proposed, where implanted nanoantennas regulated and amplified the light absorption in the fusion target. NAnoPlasmonic Laser Inertial Fusion Experiments (NAPLIFE) [1] is an improved way to achieve laser driven fusion in a non-thermal, collider configuration to avoid instabilities during ignition [2–4]. Targets structured at the nano-scale such as the clusters gas, the nanowire, and the nanohole are also used in laser induced fusion methods as targets [5–8]. It is based on simultaneous (or “time-like”) ignition [9, 10], with enhanced energy absorption with the help of nanoantennas implanted into the target material [11]. This should prevent the development of the mechanical Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Furthermore, the nuclear burning should not propagate from a central hot spot to the outside edge as the ignition is simultaneous in the whole volume.

Non-equilibrium and linear colliding configuration have been introduced already [12, 13]. Here we study the idea of layered flat target fuel with embedded nanorod antennas, that regulate laser light absorption to enforce simultaneous ignition. We plan a seven-layer flat target with layer-dependent nanorod densities [14–16]. In order to prepare such a layered target, the ignition fuel (e.g., deuterium, D, tritium, T, or other nuclei for fusion) are embedded into a hard thin polymer material of seven, 3 μm thick layers. These polymers are Urethane Dimethacrylate (UDMA) and Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) in (3:1) mass ratio [17, 18]. The UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer molecule contains 470 nuclei, 38 of them are Hydrogen. One can also use deuterized UDMA, where some of the Hydrogens are replaced by Deuterium atoms.

In the present theoretical model analysis we use the EPOCH kinetic model with Particle in Cell (PIC) method and the COMSOL Multiphysics model using the Finite Element Method (FEM), to solve the coupled Maxwell and Hydrodynamic equations.

2 Dynamics of the light-resonance in the nanorod

When a resonating nanoparticle of a size related to the effective wavelength of light is illuminated, a localised surface plasmon (LSP) is created. When the coherently oscillating electric field irradiates the metallic nanoparticle it causes the conduction electrons to oscillate also. The Coulomb attraction between electrons and nuclei produces a restoring force when the electron cloud is moved from its initial location. The electron cloud oscillates due to this force. The effective electron mass, the size and form of the charge distribution, and the electron density all contribute to the oscillation frequency. The LSP has two key effects: it dramatically increases electric fields near the nanoparticle’s surface and it increases optical absorption at the plasmon resonance frequency. The geometry of the nanoparticle can also be used to adjust surface plasmon resonance [19, 20].

A recent kinetic theoretical study analyzed the resilience of nanorod antennas under a short laser pulse irradiation in vacuum [21]. Now we extend these studies to nanorod antennas embedded into the UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer. Here we consider the refractive index of UDMA-TEGDMA (n = 1.53) [18], which slows down the propagation of light. The short laser pulse is chosen to have a length needed to propagate across the target of 7 ⋅ 3 μm = 21 μm thickness. The nanorods are orthogonal to the direction of laser irradiation in this model study. The conduction electrons show behavior of strongly coupled plasma [22]. The gold antennas are smaller than the half wavelength of the irradiated light. At optical frequencies the classical ideal half-wavelength dipole antenna scaling of rod with length L = λ/2 breaks down.

Here instead an effective wavelength needs to be considered [22]. When the nanorods are embedded into a surrounding medium different from vacuum the effective wavelength scales as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\hfill \frac{{\lambda }_{\mathit{eff}}}{2R\pi }=13.74-0.12\left[{\epsilon }_{\infty }+{\epsilon }_{s}141.04\right]/{\epsilon }_s\\ \hfill -\frac{2}{\pi }+\frac{\lambda }{{\lambda }_p}0.12\sqrt{{\epsilon }_{\infty }+{\epsilon }_{s}141.04}/{\epsilon }_s\end{array}(1)$

where ɛ_∞ = 11 is the dielectric function in the infinite frequency limit [23] and λ_p = 138 nm is the plasma wavelength for gold. The propagation velocity of light inside the medium is reduced to $c_s=c/\sqrt{{\epsilon }_s}$, where ɛ_s = n². This is a good motivation for using PIC methods for studying this behavior. We used similar principles as described in [21], using the EPOCH computing package [24–26]. We considered nanorod antennas with partly ionised gold atoms with three conducting electrons per atom due to the extreme external field strength.

Initially electrons in the λ_eff/2 = 85 nm [15] nanorod antenna follow the phase of the laser irradiation with t = 2.65 fs period. With time electrons diffuse out of the nanorod, mainly at its two ends (Figure 1). The potential wall to UDMA keeping the electrons in the nanorod is apparently smaller than in the case of surrounding vacuum [21].

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 1. (color online) Cross section of the 25 nm (diameter) × 85 nm nanorod showing number density of electrons at the tips, leaving the nanorod at different times t, half of the light wave time period apart. The number of electron marker-particles inside the simulation box will decrease with a significant amount by the end of simulation at 120 fs. Light travels from left to right in the x direction, the polarization of light is aligned with the nanorod’s orientation in y direction.

Simulation studies using the COMSOL Multi-physics Finite Element Method (FEM) package with many parameters found absorption coefficient between 256 cm⁻¹ and 1,142 cm⁻¹ for nanorod antennas [14]. By varying the density distribution of implanted nanoantennas one could achieve almost uniform integrated energy absorption at a given overlapping time of 240 fs for two counter-propagating 120 fs laser pulses [14, 27].

The beam intensity utilized was I = 4 ⋅ 10¹⁵W/cm² so that the plasmonic nanoantennas are not destroyed before the laser pulse passes. This damage threshold also depends on the geometry and size of the nanoantennas.

We compared the time dependence of momentum of escaping electrons in vacuum and in UDMA. The magnitude and the dynamics of electron emission is quite different, as shown in Figure 2.

FIGURE 2

FIGURE 2. (color online) We consider a laser pulse of intensity I =4⋅10¹⁵ W/cm² and duration of 106 fs. Here we show the time dependence of the total polarity directed momentum of the conducting electrons in the nanorod. The nanorod is in surrounding UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer (black line) and in vacuum (blue line). The UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer decreases the momentum of the emitted (as well as the number of electrons “spilled” out during the process shown by the right axes of the figure) considerably compared to the emission to vacuum. Right axis on the figure shows the number of marker particles still present in the simulation box.

Conduction band electrons follow the oscillating field, which results in nearfield enhancement [14], however in the process of repeated excitation the gold nanoparticles get ionized [28]. This leads to electron spill out effects [29]. The simulations shows faster electron spill-outs than the decrease of the plasmonic effect (see Figure 2).

For the emission of a single electron from gold plasmonic nanoantennas four 795 nm photons are needed. On the other hand the incoming pulse generates a surface plasmon, which may later emit electrons. This indirect process is more frequent than the direct emission by four photons [30–32].

Similarly to the analysis in Ref. [21] we now study the energy transfer dynamics from the laser irradiation to the target, with and without nanorods.

Consider now an intense laser beam (laser wave length λ = 795 nm in vacuum and 795/1.53 in UDMA), with intensity I = 4 ⋅ 10¹⁵W/cm², irradiating a calculation box (CB) of cross section S_CB = 530 ⋅ 530 nm² = 2.81 ⋅ 10^–9 cm² and of length L_CB = λ = 795 nm, with a step-function time profile of pulse length T_P = 106 fs $(\sim 40\lambda /c)$. The laser pulse energy fraction falling into this box is E_P = 1.19 μJ. In the geometrical middle we insert a single nanorod antenna of length 85 nm and diameter 25 nm. As the calculation box size (λ) is 1.53⋅1/40th of the irradiation pulse length (40λ), the initial and final transients are negligible. See Figure 3.

FIGURE 3

(color online) Optical response of the gold nanorod with different numerical methods and lengths, L = λ_eff/2, λ_eff/3 and 2λ_eff/3, (A) PIC, (B) FEM and (C) FEM with normalized values to unit antenna length. The tendencies of the time-evolution of the nanorod energy determined by PIC and FEM are in very good agreement. The energy in the calculation box increases rapidly till about 20 fs, then it becomes constant (without nanoantenna) until the laser pulse lasts, at this moment the energy in the box drops to zero. With the nanoantenna in the box, the resonant antenna absorbs a good part of the laser energy, (green line), while much less with the non-resonant length antennas. There is a quantitative difference between the rates of energy increase, namely the slope is significantly smaller for PIC computations, accordingly the value achieved at 106 fs is also smaller. The smaller slope is caused by the tunneling of the electrons out of the antenna that is included into the PIC computations but not in FEM. The (C) figure shows that the difference between the two non-resonant antennas is caused by the antenna lengths, when this is removed by the length normalization the difference vanishes.

We used two different marker particle species, 42,500 positively charged gold ions (+3) and three (127,500) conducting electrons for each, being careful to the neutral charge of the nanoantenna. We define the size of the nanorod, indicating the limits where the particle number density becomes zero. The borders of which can be seen in Figure 1.

We consider three situations, the box contains (i) vacuum, (ii) UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer and (iii) UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer with gold nanorod antenna in the middle of the box.

We consider the following processes for direct absorption to the UDMA-TEGDMA. As the copolymer is transparent the light absorption is minimal, while the refractive index is n = 1.53. The absorption coefficient of the bare polymer matrix at this wavelength would be ≈0.3 cm⁻¹ while doped with gold nanorods it would reach 18 cm⁻¹ [18].

In the EPOCH PIC kinetic plasma simulations model one is usually interested in charged particles, where the surrounding medium is vacuum. However, here we simulate metal nanoantenna with conducting electrons approached as plasma and the UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer is taken into account with a relative electric permittivity different from vacuum. The wavelength inside the simulation box containing UDMA-TEGDMA is also shrunk according to the refractive index.

3 Conclusion and outlook

The result of this simulation shows that the resilience of the nanoantenna in the UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer is similar to the vacuum case. In case of vacuum at 19 fs, when the maximum intensity of the laser reaches the nanorod, most electrons, N_e = 10³, have 0.015 MeV/c momentum in the direction of polarization. However at the time when the irradiation finishes at 106 fs, around N_e = 2 × 10² electrons remain at this momentum [21]. Other electrons escape at the tip of the nanorod. At 43 fs the number of leaving electrons reach the maximum while also achieving the maximum momentum in the direction of polarization (Figure 4). Potential difference becomes E_y = +/− 2.9 × 10¹² V/m = +/− 2.9 × 10³ V/nm. Maximum momentum of leaving electrons in the direction of polarization reaches 0.3025 MeV/c in vacuum, in UDMA-TEGDMA at the same time the maximum is lower at 0.1799 MeV/c. The total momentum amplitude at this time is also lower in 4.5 GeV/c in UDMA-TEGDMA compared to 7.5 GeV/c in vacuum.

FIGURE 4

FIGURE 4. (color online) The behaviour of electrons leaving the nanorod. Flat plateau laser light reaches the nanorod with maximum intensity at around 20 fs and leaves the calculation box at 106 fs. Figure (A) indicates the maximum momentum in time reached by a spilled out electron in the y direction (direction of polarization of light in line with the nanorod’s orientation in our simulations). Figure (B) shows the distribution of electrons at different momentum values: below 150 keV/c (blue line), above 150 keV/c (orange line) and above 165 kev/c (green line).

The decay time of the nanoantenna is longer in UDMA-TEGDMA, but it absorbs less energy due to its smaller resonant size (85 nm) compared to (130 nm) in Vacuum. The life-time of the plasmonic effect is starting shortly after the electron spill-out effects, around 25–30 fs later, however, short ignition is planned [1] and this time is enough in the UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer for the light to travel the required 6 μm.

Similar to [21] we also studied the time dependence of the momentum fluctuation of the electrons. Now the proton fluctuations were also studied. Initially the proton distribution slightly lags behind the electrons indicating that the electrons are pulling the protons. At later time as the laser drive is over the two distributions become aligned in phase. This phenomena will need further investigation.

The time dependence of the energy absorption by a nanorod in UDMA-TEGDMA copolymer was also studied in the COMSOL Multiphysics model. The results are similar, the main difference between the two models is arising from the different treatment of the conducting electrons. In the PIC model the conduction band electrons move freely and can escape leaving the gold ions behind, in the Maxwell-Hydrodynamic FEM approach the electrons’ collective motion is taken into account indirectly through damping constants and they cannot leave from the surface of the nanorod.

Recent experimental tests on 150 μm thick nanorod filled polymer targets show a significantly increased crater volume accompnied by Deuterium outflow following laser irradiation pulses up to 25 mJ [33–36]. Therefore first continuation of this work, already in the making, is increasing the simulation box size and allowing more light-resonant nanord antennas and bringing the initial conditions closer in line with the crater formation experiments.
