Direct test of laser tunneling with electron momentum imaging.
Tunneling is often used to describe multiphoton ionization of rare gas atoms in infrared fields. We test the tunneling approximation and its nonadiabatic extension by measuring the unperturbed momentum distribution along the κ direction of a circularly polarized light pulse. We find substantial, but not total, agreement between our results and the predictions of the model. As predicted, the κ d...
متن کاملStark field control of nonadiabatic dynamics in triatomic hydrogen.
We show experimentally that an external electric field can be used to control the amplitudes of nonadiabatic paths taken by a dissociating molecule. In the example presented here, this control is achieved by Stark-field mixing in H(3) Rydberg states with different decay paths. The final state continuum is in each path formed by three-particle wave packets of slow neutral hydrogen atoms in their...
متن کاملNonadiabatic quantum control of a semiconductor charge qubit
We demonstrate multipulse quantum control of a single electron charge qubit. The qubit is manipulated by applying nonadiabatic voltage pulses to a surface depletion gate and readout is achieved using a quantum point-contact charge sensor. We observe Ramsey fringes in the excited-state occupation in response to a π/2-π/2 pulse sequence and extract T ∗ 2 ∼ 60 ps away from the charge degeneracy po...
متن کاملArtificial atoms on semiconductor surfaces.
Semiconductor nanocrystals are called artificial atoms because of their atom-like discrete electronic structure resulting from quantum confinement. Artificial atoms can also be assembled into artificial molecules or solids, thus, extending the toolbox for material design. We address the interaction of artificial atoms with bulk semiconductor surfaces. These interfaces are model systems for unde...
متن کاملNonadiabatic dynamics and electronic energy relaxation of Cl(P) atoms in solid Ar
The dynamics of Cl~P! atoms in a solid Ar matrix is studied, with emphasis on electronic energy relaxation of excited states, and on p-orbital reorientation effects. The method used follows Tully’s approach for nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations, which treats the electronic degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically, and the atomic motions classically, allowing for ‘‘hopping’’ of the atom...
