Description
Microtube implosion is a novel scheme to generate ultrahigh magnetic fields of megatesla-order. The implosion is driven by ultraintense and ultrashort laser pulses. It was necessary, however, to prepare a kilotesla-order seed magnetic field to ensure the Larmor motions of both electrons and ions and to finally generate ultrahigh magnetic fields. Recently we have found a new method under special micro-fabrication, with which such ultrahigh magnetic fields can be generated without the seed magnetic field.
