Nano-structured materials play an important role in high-power lasers-matter interaction and in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research. Advanced micro/nano-structured targets are central to modern ICF concepts, enabling improved control of laser energy coupling, hydrodynamic stability, shock propagation, and fuel compression.
These materials are essential for the development of next-generation fusion capsules, including wetted foams, layered targets, and tailored density structures designed to optimize implosion performance and ignition conditions.
Beyond inertial confinement fusion, structured materials are also widely employed in high-energy-density physics, particle acceleration, X-ray generation, and studies of equations of state under extreme conditions.
This Workshop aims to provide a discussion focused on recent advances in structured materials, with particular attention to their role in inertial confinement fusion, while also addressing broader applications.
Topics of interest include:
- Nano structured material fabrication and characterization techniques
- Material doping and wetting
- Experimental strategies and key results
The Workshop will bring together researchers working at the intersection of laser–plasma physics, high-energy-density science, and material engineering.
