Transition from Coherent to Stochastic electron heating in ultrashort relativistic laser interaction with structured targets

Abstract Relativistic laser interaction with micro- and nano-scale surface structures enhances energy transfer to solid targets and yields matter in extreme conditions. We report on the comparative study of laser-target interaction mechanisms with wire-structures of different size, revealing a trans...
