Abstract: A model for the interaction of an intense laser with atomic clusters is presented. The model takes into account the spatial nonuniformities of the cluster as it evolves in time. The cluster is treated as a stratified sphere having an arbitrary number of layers. Electric and magnetic fields are obtained by solving the vector Helmholtz equation coupled with one-dimensional Lagrangian hydrodynamics. Results are compared with the uniform density nanoplasma model. Enhancement in the amount of energy absorbed is seen over the uniform density model. In some cases the absorbed energy increases by as much as a factor of 40.
