Abstract:
The investigations upon destruction of thin stainless films under the action of ultrashort pulses of directional terahertz radiation are carried out. The terahertz pulse with duration within several picoseconds in fact simulates non-resonance action on matter of quasi-dc electric field with a high electric field strength (up to 20 MV/cm).
Keywords:terahertz radiation, thin metal film, ultrashort pulse.
