Theory of atomic excitation and ionization by ultrashort laser pulses

Ultrafast X-ray photoelectron diffraction in triatomic molecules by circularly polarized attosecond light pulses

We theoretically study ultrafast photoelectron diffraction in triatomic molecules with cyclic geometry by ultrafast circular soft X-ray attosecond pulses.

Molecular alignment dependent electron interference in attosecond ultraviolet photoionization

We present molecular photoionization processes by intense attosecond ultraviolet laser pulses from numerical solutions of time-dependent Schrödinger equations. Simulations preformed on a single electron diatomic [Formula: see text] show minima in molecular photoelectron energy spectra resulting from two center interference effects which depend strongly on molecular alignment. We attribute such sensitivity to the spatial orientation asymmetry of the photoionization process from the two nuclei. A similar influence on photoelectron kinetic energies is also presented.
