Transfer Ionization of Isocharge Sequence Ion and Ar Collisions

The study of multi-electron process has been a very active area of atomic physics research. The simultaneous electron emission and electron transfer is one of the most interesting two-electron processes in the study Of ionatom collisions, In last decade much experimental and theoretical attention has been devoted to the process, named transfer ionization (TI). This process is normally considered as the successive process of the single electron capture and the ionization of the second or more target electrons. The studies of transfer ionization are motivated by the understanding of the role of the electron correlation in ion-atom collisions which is of great interest in basic atomic physics and may provide important information for the applications both in astrophysics and fusion plasmas researches. Different authors have investigated the transfer ionization process by measuring the angular distribution of the emitted electrons. Up to now, the systematic study of the transfer ionization and the dependences of these processes on the collision parameters for the low energy ion-atom collisions are still rarely reported in the literatures.

The cross-section ratios of the transfer ionization to the single electron capture of helium induced by fluorine ions in the strong-interaction region were measured by means of the position-sensitive-detecting and the time-of -flight (TOF) technologies. Is is found that the cross section ratios decrease with the increasing of the interaction-strength κ in this work. In the energy range of this work, the transfer ionization can be considered as a two-step process that one electron is captured by projectile...     

Terahertz coherent detection via two-color laser pulses of various frequency ratios

The mechanism of terahertz(THz) pulse coherent detection via two-color laser pulses of various frequency ratios in gas plasma is theoretically investigated.Our investigations demonstrate that except for the commonly used frequency ratio of 2, other uncommon frequency ratios can also be utilized to detect THz pulse, such as 2 n, n + 1/2(n ≤ 3, n is a positive integer).The well-developed transient photocurrent model is extended to our terahertz detection process.Based on this model, our simulation results can be explained by analyzing the process of asymmetric electron ionization and electron acceleration.     

Highly selective population of two excited states in nonresonant two-photon absorption

A nonresonant two-photon absorption process can be manipulated by tailoring the ultra-short laser pulse.In this paper,we theoretically demonstrate a highly selective population of two excited states in the nonresonant two-photon absorption process by rationally designing a spectral phase distribution.Our results show that one excited state is maximally populated while the other state population is widely tunable from zero to the maximum value.We believe that the theoretical results may play an important role in the selective population of a more complex nonlinear process comprising nonresonant two-photon absorption,such as resonance-mediated (2+1)-three-photon absorption and (2+1)-resonant multiphoton ionization.     

Study on UV-light-induced absorption in LiNbO3:Fe, Co crystal

##正##In this paper,the temporary UV-light-induced absorption in LiNbO_3:Fe,Co crystal is investigated for different UV intensities.It is found that the sensitizing process in LiNbO_3:Fe,Co can be considered as a combination of two sub-processes with different time constants.Based on the lattice structure and the photochromic mechanism of the material,the two sub-processes are suggested to arise from electron transfer from O~(2-) to Fe~(3+) through two paths with different distances.The two-colour recording experiment in LiNbO_3:Fe,Co is also preformed by using UV and green light as gating and writing beams respectively.High sensitivity is obtained in the recording,which is considered as the consequence of direct charge transfer from O~(2-) to Fe~(3+).     

Controlling electron collision by counterrotating circular two-color laser fields

Electron collision as well as its controlling lies in the core of study on nonsequential double ionization(NSDI).A single collision occurred in a convergent time is important to disclose the essential features of the electron correlation.However,it is difficult to form such a collision.By using counterrotating circular two-color(CRTC)laser fields,we show that a single electron collision can be achieved in a convergent time and a net electron correlation is set up within the sub-femtosecond time scale in the NSDI process of Ar atoms.The proposed method is also valid for other atoms,provided that one chooses the frequency and intensity of the CRTC field according to a scaling law.     

S-matrix study on alignment dependence of single ionization of molecular ions with different active orbitals

The orientation-dependent single ionization rate of the diatomic molecular ion H_2^+ with different active orbitals in an intense field is studied by using S-matrix theory. Our results show that the orientation-dependent single ionization probability of H_2^+ is greatly dependent on the symmetry and the electron density distribution of its initial states, and it can be used to identify the excited state of the molecular ion in the dissociation process.     

The fractal structure in the ionization dynamics of Rydberg lithium atoms in a static electric field

The ionization rate of Rydberg lithium atoms in a static electric field is examined within semiclassical theory which involves scattering effects off the core. By semiclassical analysis, this ionization process can be considered as the promoted valence electrons escaping through the Stark saddle point into the ionization channels. The resulting escape spectrum of the ejected electrons demonstrates a remarkable irregular electron pulse train in time-dependence and a complicated nesting structure with respect to the initial launching angles. Based on the Poincaré} map and homoclinic tangle approach, the chaotic behaviour along with its corresponding fractal self-similar structure of the ionization spectra are analysed in detail. Our work is significant for understanding the quantum-classical correspondence.

Laser-Induced Particle Jet and Its Ignition Application in Premixed Combustible Gases

A hot particle jet is induced as a laser pulse from a free oscillated Nd：YAG laser focused on a coal target. The particle jet successfully initiates combustion in a premixed combustible gas consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, and air. The experiment reveals that the ionization of the particle jet is enhanced during the laser pulse. This characteristic is attributed to the electron cascade process and the ionization of the particles or molecules of the target. The initial free electrons, which are ablated from the coal target, are accelerated by the laser pulse through the inverse Bremsstrahfung process and then collide with the neutrals in the jet, causing the latter to be ionized.     

Single and double ionization of neon 2s- and 2p-subshells by proton and electron impact

Absolute single and double ionization cross sections of neon 2s- and 2p-subshells for proton (40–900 keV) and electron impact (0.2–10 keV) have been measured using photon spectroscopy in the spectral range of the vacuum ultraviolet. Cross sections for double ionization decrease more rapidly with increasing impact energy than cross sections for single ionization. No definite asymptotic energy dependence of a Bethe-Fano-plot could be found for double ionization in contrast to single ionization. The experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions of the shake-off model and Gryzinski's classical binary encounter theory. Better agreement is found with the latter, indicating that successive binary collisions have to be considered as a strong mechanism for double ionization by protons or electrons of the investigated energy range. Comparison is made with other experimental results for double ionization by photon impact or capture ionization by proton impact.     

Enhanced sputtering from the F/Si(100) surface with extraction of the surface bond direction

It was found that slow highly charged ions had a high ability to ionize F atoms on a F/Si(100)-2×1 surface and desorb F+ ions along the local bond direction. Actually, the F+ ion yields were proportional to the incident charge cubed, and the F+ ions were emitted along the Si-F bond directions showing a fourfold symmetry pattern. The trigger process of the F+ formation is discussed based on a charge transfer process of F 2p electrons by extending the classical over barrier model. Further, we found that the kinetic energy of highly charged ion induced F+ ions is lower than that of electron stimulated F+ ions caused by the removal of a F 2s electron.

低能He~(2+)与He原子碰撞转移电离出射电子能谱研究

利用反应显微成像谱仪对70和100keV He2+与He原子碰撞转移电离(TI)过程中不同出射角度的电子能谱进行了测量,观测到出射电子能谱具有如下分布特征:出射电子速度分布介于0和入射离子速度vp之间;在不同出射角度电子能谱分布均有一极大值存在,随着出射角度的增大,能谱分布极大值逐渐减小;当电子出射角度等于45°时,多数电子集中在0eV附近。上述特征可由低能离子-原子碰撞"准分子"模型进行定性解释。在100keV He2+-He转移电离出射电子能谱中有靶电子被俘获至散射离子连续态(electron capture to continuum,简称ECC)电子的贡献,这可看做是动力学两步过程的作用。     

Laser phase control of high-order harmonic generation at large internuclear distance: the H+ -H2+ system

Exact (Born-Oppenheimer) 3-D numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation are obtained for the one electron linear H+-H2+ atom-molecule system at large internuclear distance R in interaction with two-cycles intense (I>10(14) W cm(-2)) 800 nm laser pulses. High-order harmonic generation (HHG) spectra are obtained with an energy cutoff larger than the atomic maximum of I(p)+3U(p), where I(p) is the ionization potential and U(p) is the ponderomotive energy. At large R, this extended cutoff is shown to be related to the nature of electron transfer, whose direction is shown to depend critically on the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of the ultrashort pulse. Constructive and destructive interferences in the HHG spectrum resulting from coherent superpositions of electronic states in the H+-H2+ system are interpreted in terms of multiple electron trajectories extracted from a time profile analysis.

Investigation of electron localization in harmonic emission from asymmetric molecular ion

We theoretically investigate the electron localization around two nuclei in harmonic emission from asymmetric molecular ion. The results show that the ionization process of electron localized around one nucleus competes with its transfer process to the other nucleus. By increasing the initial vibrational level, more electrons localized around the nucleus D+tend to transfer to the nucleus He2+so that the ionizations of electrons localized around the nucleus He2+increase. In this case, the difference in harmonic efficiency between He H2+and He D2+decreases while the difference in harmonic spectral structure increases. The evident minimum can be observed in the harmonic spectrum of He H2+compared with that in the spectral structure of He D2+, which is due to the strong interference of multiple recombination channels originating from two nuclei. Time-dependent nuclear probability density, electron-nuclear probability density, double-well model, and time-frequency maps are presented to explain the underlying mechanisms.
