Non linear surface plasma wave assisted electron acceleration in metal structure

Abstract

Abstract The electron dynamics is realized by the field of surface plasma waves, which are created by the interaction of a femto-second laser and a metal sheet of finite thickness. The amplitude of surface plasma wave is maximum at the interface of two media and starts decays exponentially as we move far from the boundary. The applied magnetic field (along y-axis) is utilized to bend the trajectory of electron and helps the electron to gain energy by resonance between electron, magnetic and SPW fields and as a result, the electron gets accelerated.
