  • Method and system for fabrication of crystals using laser-accelerated particle beams or secondary sources
    Patent number: 11236437
    Abstract: A system and a method for fabricating crystals, the method comprising heating an irradiation target to a temperature comprised in a range between a boiling point temperature of a material of the irradiation target and a critical point temperature of the material of the irradiation target, thereby generating a plasma plume of particles ablated from a surface of the irradiation target.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 1, 2022
    Inventors: Patrizio Antici, Marianna Barberio
  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STRESS TESTING OF MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20210010958
    Abstract: A system and method for stress testing a sample, the system comprising a high-intensity laser unit and a target for laser-matter interaction, wherein the high-intensity laser unit delivers an intensity of at least 1013 W/cm2 on the target, and resulting laser-accelerated particles generated by the target irradiate the sample.

  • Method and system for analysis of objects
    Patent number: 10705036
    Abstract: A spectroscopy method and system, the method comprising irradiating an object with a laser-accelerated particle beam and detecting photons emitted by the object as a result of the interaction between the laser-accelerated particle beam and the object. The system comprises a laser; a particle source, positioned at a distance from the object; and a spectrometer and a detector; wherein the particle source generates a laser-accelerated particle beam under irradiation by the laser; and the spectrometer and the detector detect photons emitted from the object under irradiation by the laser-accelerated particle beam.
    Type: Grant
