Calculation of photoelectron spectra within the time-dependent configuration interaction singles scheme
arXiv:1403.0352 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.89.033415
Abstract
We present the extension of the time-dependent configuration interaction singles (TDCIS) method to the computation of the electron kinetic-energy spectrum in photoionization processes. Especially for strong and long ionizing light pulses the detection of the photoelectron poses a computational challenge because propagating the outgoing photoelectron wavepacket requires large grid sizes. Two different methods which allow for the extraction of the asymptotic photoelectron momentum are compared regarding their methodological and computational performance. The first method follows the scheme of Tong et al. \cite{tong} where the photoelectron wavefunction is absorbed by a real splitting function. The second method after Tao and Scrinzi \cite{scrinzi} measures the flux of the electron wavepacket through a surface at a fixed radius. With both methods the full angle- and energy-resolved photoelectron spectrum is obtained. Combined with the TDCIS scheme it is possible to analyze the dynamics of the outgoing electron in a channel-resolved way and, additionally, to study the dynamics of the bound electrons in the parent ion. As an application, one-photon and above-threshold ionization (ATI) of argon following strong XUV irradiation are studied via energy- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectra.
