Gradient temporal

Most of our ideas about carrier transport in semiconductors are based on tire assumption of diffusive motion. Wlren tire electron concentration in a semiconductor is not unifonn, tire electrons move diffuse) under tire influence of concentration gradients, giving rise to an additional contribution to tire current. In tliis motion, electrons also undergo collisions and tlieir temporal and spatial distributions are described by the diffusion equation. The... 

B) The number of points in space or time within one such batch A that needs to be tested (spacial inhomogeneity due to viscosity, temperature gradients, etc.) temporal inhomogeneity due to process start-up and shut-down. 

Fig. 32. Maximum energy dissipation rates produced throughout the bursting process, plotted against bubble radius. The logarithmic scale indicates an exponential dependence of maximum stress on bubble radius for large bubbles. The slight drop in the data point for the smallest bubble as compared to the next smallest may be because of the difficulty in locating the exact place and time of the peak, due to large spatial and temporal gradients beneath the forming jet [113]...

Although the overall cost of the conjugate gradient algorithm may be higher than that of some of the iterative algorithms described in Section III.B, the algorithm allows us easily to restrict the spectral and temporal stmcture of optimal pulses and enables us to incorporate the exact form of the laser-molecule interactions. 

For practical purposes, implicit schemes are the methods of choice when the solution is smooth and well behaved as a function of time. In that case much larger time steps can be taken than with explicit schemes, thus allowing a reduction in the computational effort. When large temporal gradients and rapid variations are expected, accuracy constraints set severe limits to the time-step size. In that case explicit schemes might be favorable, as they come with a reduced numerical effort per time step. 

First, it is assumed that the EEDF is spatially uniform and temporally constant, which is allowed if the energy relaxation time of the EEDF is much shorter than the RF-cycle duration, and if the relaxation length is much smaller than the typical gradient scale length. This assumption implies a spatially and temporally constant electric field. It reduces the Boltzmann equation to a problem exclusively in the velocity space. 

Recent review articles ([16,17] and references therein) allow the interested reader to get a broader picture of this exciting research domain and related applications. In the following (Sect. 10.2), we will mainly devote ourselves to the principles of the main ion acceleration mechanism, and to the way the temporal profile of the laser pulse, and more specifically the beam contrast ratio, can influence it. In particular, we will briefly review the main theoretical and experimental published work concerning the action of a plasma gradient on ion acceleration characteristics. Section 10.3 presents the contrast improvement device we have implemented for our laser beam, and the related temporal profile measurements. In Sect. 10.4, we will show and discuss the main results obtained using ultra high contrast (UHC) laser pulses in laser-driven ion acceleration experiments. Finally, an example of the exploitation of the particular features of UHC pulses in laser-driven ion acceleration will be given in Sect. 10.5.
