Few-photon multiple ionization of ne and ar by strong free-electron-laser pulses.

چکیده
Few-photon multiple ionization of Ne and Ar atoms by strong vacuum ultraviolet laser pulses from the free-electron laser at Hamburg was investigated differentially with the Heidelberg reaction microscope. The light-intensity dependence of Ne2+ production reveals the dominance of nonsequential two-photon double ionization at intensities of I<6x10(12) W/cm2 and significant contributions of three-photon ionization as I increases. Ne2+ recoil-ion-momentum distributions suggest that two electrons absorbing "instantaneously" two photons are ejected most likely into opposite hemispheres with similar energies.

Multiple Ionization of Atoms by 25 and 7 fs Laser Pulses
Double, triple and fourfold ionization of rare gas atoms has been studied using a “reaction microscope”. We show that ionization dynamics drastically depends on atomic species and present the first data obtained with few-cycle pulses. Since the first experimental observation of doubly charged ions produced by intense laser field [1], many-electron dynamics in laser-induced ionization has been t...
متن کاملProbing angular correlations in sequential double ionization.
We study electron correlation in sequential double ionization of noble gas atoms and HCl in intense, femtosecond laser pulses. We measure the photoelectron angular distributions of Ne+ relative to the first electron in a pump-probe experiment with 8 fs, 800 nm, circularly polarized laser pulses at a peak intensity of a few 10(15) W/cm2. Using a linear-linear pump-probe setup, we further study ...
متن کاملStrong-field nonsequential double ionization of Ar and Ne
We investigate the nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of Ar and Ne based on quantitative rescattering theory (QRS). According to QRS theory, each elementary NSDI process can be calculated by multiplying the returning electron wave packet with appropriate differential electron-ion scattering cross sections. We include (e, 2e) and electron-impact excitation cross sections of Ar+ to obtain the...
متن کاملTime-dependent density functional theory applied to nonsequential multiple ionization of Ne at 800 nm.
Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is employed to study the interaction of a Ne atom with short and strong 800\,nm laser pulses. In the intensity regime covered (10;14-10;16 W/cm;2) up to triply ionized Ne is observed. Good quantitative agreement with the experimental Ne;+ ion-yield (and the Ne;2+ -yield near saturation) is obtained. Nonsequential ionization (NSI) leads to a stron...
متن کاملCalculation of the total cross section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by bare ions at the high energy range
In the present work, the total cross-section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by +He2+ ، H+ ، Li3 ions has been calculated. In these calculations, a binary encounter approximation in the form of a two-body process between projectile ions and atomic electrons at the high energy range has been implemented. In order to enter the nuclear role of the target atom, the atomic electron vel...
