Researchers Demonstrate Laser Isotope Separation

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor have developed an efficient method of isotope separation using the magnetic fields that are produced within laser-generated plasmas. The technique provides an alternative to the toxic by-products and the expense of gaseous diffusion. The team ablated boron nitride and gallium nitride targets in a vacuum chamber with 150- to 200-fs pulses of 780-nm light from a Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplified laser. They observed different times of flight for the vaporized isotopes and found that the ions were sorted by weight at the deposition...Read full article
