Different escape modes in two-photon double ionization of helium
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quadrupole channel of two-photon double ionization of He exhibits two distinctly different modes of correlated motion of the photoelectron pair. The kinematics of the mode associated with the center-of-mass motion favors large total momenta maximized at parallel emission where the interelectron repulsion is strong. In contrast, the mode associated with the relative motion favors large relative momenta maximized at antiparallel emission where the interelectron repulsion is relatively weak. This difference in the interelectron repulsion allows for much wider angular correlation width in the relative motion mode as compared to the center-of-mass mode.

Angular anisotropy parameters and recoil-ion momentum distribution in two-photon double ionization of helium
We present convergent-close-coupling CCC calculations of the angular anisotropy parameters 2 , 4 and the recoil ion momentum distribution d /dp in two-photon double ionization TPDI of helium. In a stark contrast to single-photon double ionization SPDI , where the 2 parameter varies widely changing the angular distribution from isotropic to nearly dipole for slow and fast photoelectrons, respect...
متن کاملAngular anisotropy parameters for sequential two-photon double ionization of helium
We evaluate photoelectron angular anisotropy parameters for the process of sequential two-photon double electron ionization of helium within the lowest-order time-independent perturbation theory. Our results indicate that for photoelectron energies outside the interval Eslow,Efast , where Eslow= −VHe+ and Efast= −VHe, there is a considerable deviation from the dipole angular distribution, thus ...

متن کاملTwo-photon double ionization of the hydrogen molecule
Cross sections for the removal of both electrons of the hydrogen molecule by two photons are presented at 30 eV photon energy using the time-dependent close-coupling method. Our approach allows detailed information about the dynamics of the ionization process to be extracted, including angular distributions for the outgoing electrons. Analysis of our calculations reveals some similarities to th...
متن کاملAngular distribution in two-photon double ionization of helium by intense attosecond soft X-ray pulses
Abstract We investigate two-photon double ionization of helium by intense (≈ 1015 W/cm2) ultrashort (≈ 300 as) soft X-ray pulses (E = 91.6 eV). The time-dependent two-electron Schrödinger equation is solved using a coupled channel method. We show that for ultrashort pulses the angular distribution of ejected electrons depends on the pulse duration and provides novel insights into the role of el...
