Abstract

A comparative experimental study of soft x-ray emission from laser-irradiated Au-Cu mix-Z targets of different atomic compositions has been performed. Plasma was produced from planar targets using second-harmonic laser pulses from an Nd: glass laser at a focused intensity of ~ 1013Wcm-2. Radiation intensity in the spectral region ~15-150Å and integrated x-ray yield for mix-Z target were observed to be higher than those for individual elements. The maximum conversion occurred for an atomic composition of Au 0.43-Cu 0.57. These observations are consistent with the variation of Rosseland mean opacity with atomic composition calculated using a screened hydrogenic average atom model.
