Dynamics of light-field control of molecular dissociation at the few-cycle limit.
We studied the laser-molecule interaction dynamics that leads to the asymmetric D+ ion ejection in the dissociative ionization of D2 molecules observed recently in Kling et al. [Science 312, 246 (2006)10.1126/science.1126259]. By changing the carrier-envelope phase, we showed that the asymmetry is a consequence of manipulating the initial ionization and the rescattering of the electrons within ...
متن کاملDissociative Charge Exchange and Ionization of O2 by Fast H + and O Ions: Energetic Ion Interactions in Europa’s Oxygen Atmosphere and Neutral Torus
Measurements of electron capture and ionization of O2 molecules in collisions with H + and O ions have been made over an energy range 10–100 keV. Cross sections for dissociative and nondissociative interactions have been separately determined using coincidence techniques. Nondissociative channels leading to O2 product formation are shown to be dominant for both the H and the O projectiles in th...
متن کاملDirect observation of an attosecond electron wave packet in a nitrogen molecule
Capturing electron motion in a molecule is the basis of understanding or steering chemical reactions. Nonlinear Fourier transform spectroscopy using an attosecond-pump/attosecond-probe technique is used to observe an attosecond electron wave packet in a nitrogen molecule in real time. The 500-as electronic motion between two bound electronic states in a nitrogen molecule is captured by measurin...
متن کاملEffects of orbital symmetries in dissociative ionization of molecules by few-cycle laser pulses
We have measured angular distributions of ion fragments produced in dissociative double ionization of CO, CO2, and C2H2 by intense ultrashort laser pulses. This report extends similar recent studies of O2 and N2 to a wider set of molecules. We found that for sub-10-fs pulses of sufficiently low intensity the fragments’ angular distributions for all studied molecules are determined by angular de...
متن کاملAttosecond control in photoionization of hydrogen molecules.
We report experiments where hydrogen molecules were dissociatively ionized by an attosecond pulse train in the presence of a near-infrared field. Fragment ion yields from distinguishable ionization channels oscillate with a period that is half the optical cycle of the IR field. For molecules aligned parallel to the laser polarization axis, the oscillations are reproduced in two-electron quantum...
متن کاملDependence of Tunneling Ionization and Harmonic Generation on the Structure of Molecules by Short Intense Laser Pulses
We illustrate how the sub-10fs lasers and attosecond XUV pulses can be used to probe the structure of molecules. Experimental results of the alignment dependence of the ionization rates and the high-order harmonic generation yields are shown to reflect the structure of the highest occupied molecular orbital. We also show that the vibrational wave packet of simple molecules can be mapped accurat...
