Subcycle control of electron-electron correlation in double ionization.

چکیده
Double ionization of neon with orthogonally polarized two-color (OTC) laser fields is investigated using coincidence momentum imaging. We show that the two-electron emission dynamics in nonsequential double ionization can be controlled by tuning the subcycle shape of the electric field of the OTC pulses. We demonstrate experimentally switching from correlated to anticorrelated two-electron emission, and control over the directionality of the two-electron emission. Simulations based on a semiclassical trajectory model qualitatively explain the experimental results by a subcycle dependence of the electron recollision time on the OTC field shape.

متن کاملMultiphoton Rabi oscillations of correlated electrons in strong-field nonsequential double ionization
With quantum calculations, we have investigated the multiphoton nonsequential double ionization of helium atoms in intense laser fields at ultraviolet wavelengths. Very surprisingly, we found a so-far unobserved doublecircle structure in the correlated electron momentum spectra. The double-circle structure essentially reveals multiphoton Rabi oscillations of two electrons, which are strongly su...
متن کاملd ionization: Stratified symmetrical electron emission and resonantly structured ionization continuum
We have discovered theoretically that ionization of a one-dimensional quantum well by an ultrashort subcycle ~d-like! electromagnetic pulse results in photoelectrons propagating both along the field and in the opposite direction in well-separated shells whose velocities reflect quasiresonances in the ionization continuum. For both a quantum well and a three-dimensional hydrogenlike atom, a unip...
متن کاملDouble ionization energy spectra of small alkali- metal clusters
In this article, we calculate the spectra of the double ionization energy (the energy required for adding two electrons to the neutral system) of small alkali-metal clusters (K2 and Li2) including the effect of electron–electron short-range correlation by adding two one-particle energies within the GW approximation and taking into account the electron–electron repulsive interaction effectively....

One of the most striking surprises of recent years in intense laser-matter interactions has come from multiple ionization by intense short laser pulses: Correlated (nonsequential) double ionization rates were found to be several orders of magnitude higher than the uncorrelated sequential mechanism allows. This discrepancy has made the characteristic “knee” shape in the double ionization yield v...
