Interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with materials can bring the latter to highly non-equilibrium states, where the electronic temperature strongly differs from the ionic one. The properties of such excited material can be considerably different from those in a hot, but equilibrium state. The reliable modeling of laser-irradiated target requires careful analysis of its properties in both regimes.

- Understanding fracture phenomena at high strain rates is crucial for various scientific fields, including applied science, technology, and fundamental science like geology and laser interactions.
- Successful research in this area requires detailed analysis at multiple scales, from atomic to macroscopic, which has typically been done through large-scale simulations.
- Recent advancements using a combination of high-power laser and femtosecond x-ray probes have allowed for real-time monitoring of these dynamic fracture processes in tantalum, revealing critical data related to spallation and stress responses in materials.
