Empirical formula for static field ionization rates of atoms and molecules by lasers in the barrier-suppression regime
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an empirical formula for the static field ionization rates of atoms and molecules by extending the well-known analytical tunnelling ionization rates to the barrier-suppression regime. The validity of this formula is checked against ionization rates calculated from solving the Schrödinger equation for a number of atoms and ions. The empirical formula retains the simplicity of the original tunnelling ionization rate expression but can be used to calculate the ionization rates of atoms and molecules by lasers at high intensities.

Photoelectron spectra and high Rydberg states of lithium generated by intense lasers in the over-the-barrier ionization regime
We calculated photoelectron energy and momentum spectra and the population of high Rydberg states of lithium atoms by intense 785 nm laser pulses at intensities in the over-the-barrier ionization (OBI) regime. The calculated spectra are compared to experiments reported in Schuricke et al. [Phys. Rev. A 83, 023413 (2011)]. It is shown that in the OBI regime, due to strong depletion of the ground...
متن کاملExact field ionization rates in the barrier suppression-regime from numerical TDSE calculations
Numerically determined ionization rates for the field ionization of atomic hydrogen in strong and short laser pulses are presented. The laser pulse intensity reaches the so-called “barrier suppression ionization” regime where field ionization occurs within a few half laser cycles. Comparison of our numerical results with analytical theories frequently used shows poor agreement. An empirical for...

We considered the motion of DNA molecules through a hexagonal array under uniform electric fields as a Fokker-Planck process which is affected by the entropic barriers and we have simulated this motion by computer. We solved the Fokker-Planck equation with numerical simulation of the Brownian dynamics by the Euler method. For different DNA molecules, under different physical conditions, the mea...

Semiclassical ionization dynamics of the hydrogen molecular ion in an electric field of arbitrary orientation Abstract. Quasi-static models of barrier suppression have played a major role in our understanding of the ionization of atoms and molecules in strong laser fields. Despite their success, in the case of diatomic molecules these studies have so far been restricted to fields aligned with t...

The term electronegativity .was introduced by Linus Pauling, who characterized on the basis ofthermodynamic data from the energies of the single bonds. In present study, the Density Functional Theory(DFT) was used to calculate electronegativity of atoms. The base of calculation is similar to Pauling andMulliken methods. The results indicate that the largest value of electronegativity for Fluori...
