Ionization Study of Isomeric Molecules in Strong-field Laser Pulses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through the use of the technique of time-of-flight mass spectroscopy, we obtain strong-field ionization yields for randomly oriented 1,2-dichloroethylene (1,2-DCE) (C2H2Cl2) and 2-butene (C4H8). We are interested in studying the effect of conformal structure in strong-field ionization and, in particular, the role of molecular polarity. That is, we can perform strong-field ionization studies in polar vs non-polar molecules that have the same chemical composition. We report our findings through the ionization yields and the ratio (trans/cis) of each stereoisomer pair as a function of intensity.

In this paper, the laser ablation process based on the irradiation of nanosecond pulsed lasers on a copper target surface in the presence of Helium gas is studied. The dynamical behaviors of the generated plasma in the helium gas and evaporated copper at the atmospheric pressure are examined using a laser pulse, laser wavelength of and intensity of 7×1010W/cm2.

متن کاملMolecular Double Ionization Using Strong Field Few-Cycle Laser Pulses.
We study strong field double ionization of a series of organic molecules by making use of coincidence detection of fragment ions. We measure the double ionization yield as a function of pulse duration, intensity, polarization, and molecular conjugation. For conjugated molecules we find strong enhancement in the double ionization rate over what one would expect on the basis of tunneling or multi...
متن کاملAngular tunneling ionization probability of fixed-in-space H2 molecules in intense laser pulses.
We propose a new approach to obtain molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions from molecules ionized by intense laser pulses. With our method we study the angular tunnel ionization probability of H2 at a wavelength of 800 nm over an intensity range of 2-4.5 x 10(14) W/cm2. We find an anisotropy that is stronger than predicted by any existing model. To explain the observed anisotropy a...
متن کاملDouble ionization of benzene interacting with strong Ti:sapphire laser pulses
Multiphoton/tunnel ionization of benzene, interacting with strong Ti:sapphire laser pulses, to doubly charged ions was studied. In contrast to previously published results on multiphoton/tunnel ionization of atoms and molecules, it was demonstrated that double ionization of benzene occurs mainly through non-sequential processes.
متن کاملIonization of Molecular Hydrogen in Ultrashort Intense Laser Pulses
A novel ab initio numerical approach is developed and applied that solves the time-dependent Schrödinger equation describing two-electron diatomic molecules (e.g. molecular hydrogen) exposed to an intense ultrashort laser pulse. The method is based on the fixed-nuclei and the non-relativistic dipole approximations and aims to accurately describe both correlated electrons in full dimensionality....
