The irradiation of an intense laser pulse onto a solid target immersed in liquid produces dense plasma. The plasma produced by liquid-phase laser ablation has unique features at high pressure and temperature, which are never realized by liquid-phase discharges. Another unique characteristic of liquid-phase laser ablat…

The exchange bias phenomena associated with the magnetic glass state at low temperatures in Gd5Ge4 are studied. The exchange bias effect originates from the exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic islands and antiferromagnetic matrix in the magnetic glass state. It is found that the exchange bias in Gd5Ge4 is stro…
