Resonant Auger Scattering by Attosecond X-Ray Pulses

As x-ray probe pulses approach the subfemtosecond range, conventional x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) is expected to experience a reduction in spectral resolution due to the effects of the pulse broadening.However, in the case of resonant x-ray photoemission, also known as resonant Auger scattering(RAS), the spectroscopic technique maintains spectral resolution when an x-ray pulse is precisely tuned to a core-excited state. We present theoretical simulations of XPS and RAS spectra on a sho...

Core-Excited Molecules by Resonant Intense X-Ray Pulses Involving Electron-Rotation Coupling

It has been reported that electron-rotation coupling plays a significant role in diatomic nuclear dynamics induced by intense VUV pulses [Phys. Rev. A 102(2020) 033114; Phys. Rev. Res. 2(2020) 043348]. As a further step, we present here investigations of the electron-rotation coupling effect in the presence of Auger decay channel for core-excited molecules, based on theoretical modeling of the total electron yield(TEY), resonant Auger scattering(RAS) and x-ray absorption spectra(XAS) for two showcases of CO and CH~+ molecules excited by resonant intense x-ray pulses. The Wigner D-functions and the universal transition dipole operators are introduced to include the electron-rotation coupling for the core-excitation process. It is shown that with the pulse intensity up to 10~(16) W/cm~2, no sufficient influence of the electron-rotation coupling on the TEY and RAS spectra can be observed. This can be explained by a suppression of the induced electron-rotation dynamics due to the fast Auger decay channel, which does not allow for effective Rabi cycling even at extreme field intensities,contrary to transitions in optical or VUV range. For the case of XAS, however, relative errors of about 10% and 30% are observed for the case of CO and CH~+, respectively, when the electron-rotation coupling is neglected.It is concluded that conventional treatment of the photoexcitation, neglecting the electron-rotation coupling,can be safely and efficiently employed to study dynamics at the x-ray transitions by means of electron emission spectroscopy, yet the approximation breaks down for nonlinear processes as stimulated emission, especially for systems with light atoms.     

Resonant Activation Induced by Four-Value Noise

The phenomenon of the resonant activation （RA） of a particle over a fluctuating potential barrier with a four-value noise is investigated. It is shown that the mean first passage time （MFPT） displays six minima as the function of the transition rates γ1, γ2, γ3, γ4, γ5, and 76 of the four-value noise, respectively. In addition, the effect of other parameters of the system, such as the noise strength D of the additive Gaussian white noise and the parameter value a, b, c, and d of the four-value noise, on the RAs is also investigated.     

Resonant Scattering of Gravitational Waves with Electromagnetic Waves

A certain class of exact solutions of Einstein Maxwell spacetime in general relativity is discussed to demonstrate that at the level of theory, when certain parametric resonance condition is met, the interaction of electromagnetic field with a gravitational wave will display certain Lyapunov instability and lead to exponential amplification of a gravitational wave train described by certain Newman–Penrose component of the Weyl curvature. In some way akin to a free electron laser in electromagnet...     

Resonant Scattering of Picosecond Laser Pulses by Atoms in Alkali Metal Vapors

Resonant scattering of ultrashort laser pulses (ULPs) in the vicinity of spectral doublets in monatomic lithium and sodium vapors is studied theoretically. The scattering probability over the entire time of pulse action is calculated as a function of various parameters of the problem (carrier frequency and ULP duration, as well as vapor pressure and temperature). It is shown that the dependence of the total scattering probability on the pulse duration is generally nonlinear by nature.

The prospects of using ITO nanoparticles as an active substance in optical sensors are estimated.     

Excitation of Highly Charged Ions in Plasma by Ultrashort Electromagnetic Pulses

Excitation of highly charged ions in plasmas under the action of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses is investigated theoretically in the frame of perturbation theory. The study is based on analytical expression for probability of bound‐bound transition which is derived for Gaussian pulse and Doppler broadening of spectral line shape of the transition. Electronic transitions from the ground state of hydrogen‐like ions are considered with account for fine splitting of upper energy levels. The main attention is paid to the dependence of the excitation probability on pulse duration for various ion charges and carrier frequencies of the pulse. The results obtained are of interest for plasma diagnostics based on ion excitation from ground state by ultrashort pulses. (© 2016 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

基于泵浦脉冲诱导等离子体通道的空心光束产生

利用飞秒脉冲诱导生成的具有渐变折射率分布的等离子体通道产生空心光束.当飞秒脉冲在非线性介质中传输时将电离产生等离子体通道,该等离子体通道具有渐变的折射率分布,等离子体通道中激光束只能在电子密度低于临界等离子体密度的区域传播,故当探测光束在等离子体通道边缘传输时将偏转形成空心光束.当泵浦光束功率为8mW时,探测光束转变为典型的空心光束结构;当泵浦光束的入射功率、重复率或等离子体通道中轴向电子密度改变时,等离子体通道中可供探测光束通过的区域将随之发生改变,这将导致空心光束中黑斑的面积发生变化.因此通过调节泵浦光束的入射功率和重复率可以控制产生空心光束的黑斑大小.     

Ultrafast Electronic and Molecular Dynamics Induced by Ultrashort FEL Pulses

In recent years, short wavelength free electron lasers (FELs) have opened up access to ultrafast electronic and structural dynamics in matter. Currently, four FEL facilities are in operation in the world. FLASH [1 W. Ackermann, Nat. Photonics 1, 336 (2007).[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] in Germany and FERMI [2 P. Emma, Nat. Photonics 4, 641 (2010).[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] in Italy cover the range from extreme ultraviolet (EUV) to soft X-rays, while LCLS [3 T. Ishikawa, Nat. Photonics 6, 540 (2012).[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] in the U.S. and SACLA [4 E. Allaria, Nat. Photonics 6, 699 (2012).[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] in Japan provide pulses in the hard X-ray regime. In addition, an upgrade version of SCSS [5 T. Shintake, Nat. Photonics 2, 555 (2008).[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], nicknamed SCSS+, has also just started user operation as a beamline of SACLA [6 See http://xfel.riken.jp/eng/users/index.html [Google Scholar]]. These FELs deliver coherent pulses combining unprecedented power densities up to ~10²⁰ W/cm² and extremely short pulse durations down to a few femtoseconds. The intense coherent FEL pulse focused down to ~1 μm² makes single-shot diffractive imaging of nano-crystals or even non-crystallized bio-samples as well as other small objects a reality. Time-resolved spectroscopic and structural studies on the timescale of femtoseconds, having FEL pulses as a probe, allow us to probe electrons and atoms in action. Additionally, since FEL pulses are in a new regime of intensity, they are opening up new research fields that exploit the interaction between intense short wavelength pulses and matter, leading to matter at extremely high energy. Relevant theories dealing with such extreme conditions are also rapidly growing.
