چکیده
We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of ultrafast wave-packet dynamics in the dissociative ionization of H_{2} molecules as a result of irradiation with an extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulse followed by an infrared (IR) pulse. In experiments where the duration of both the XUV and IR pulses are shorter than the vibrational period of H_{2};{+}, dephasing and rephasing of the vibrational wave packet that is formed in H_{2};{+} upon ionization of the neutral molecule by the XUV pulse is observed. In experiments where the duration of the IR pulse exceeds the vibrational period of H_{2};{+} (15 fs), a pronounced dependence of the H;{+} kinetic energy distribution on XUV-IR delay is observed that can be explained in terms of the adiabatic propagation of the H_{2};{+} wave packet on field-dressed potential energy curves.

Coherent excitation of shake-up states in rare gas atoms by attosecond xuv pulses
In a recent experiment [2], Uiberacker et al. exposed neon atoms to a phase-stabilized fewcycle infrared (IR) laser field and a synchronized attosecond XUV pulse. The XUV pulse leads to single ionization of the Ne atom and the creation of excited (shake-up) states in the residual Ne ion. The IR pulse can then further ionize the Ne ion, thus serving as a probe for the quantum state of the singly...
متن کاملDecoherence, control and attosecond probing of XUV-induced charge migration in biomolecules. A theoretical outlook.
The sudden ionization of a molecule by an attosecond pulse is followed by charge redistribution on a time scale from a few femtoseconds down to hundreds of attoseconds. This ultrafast redistribution is the result of the coherent superposition of electronic continua associated with the ionization thresholds that are reached by the broadband attosecond pulse. Thus, a correct theoretical descripti...
متن کاملAttosecond photoionization of a coherent superposition of bound and dissociative molecular states: effect of nuclear motion
We study numerically the possibility for monitoring electron motion in a dissociating molecule using an attosecond XUV probe pulse which photoionizes a coherent superposition of two nuclear wave packets. We present the photoelectron spectra and forward–backward asymmetries in these spectra obtained from a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for one electron and two pro...

متن کاملDissociative multiphoton ionization of NO2 studied by time-resolved imaging.
We have studied dissociative multiphoton ionization of NO2 by time-resolved velocity map imaging in a two-color pump-probe experiment using the 400 and 266 nm harmonics of a regeneratively amplified titanium-sapphire laser. We observe that most of the ion signal appears as NO+ with approximately 0.28 eV peak kinetic energy. Approximately 600 fs period oscillations indicative of wave packet moti...
