Three-electron correlations in strong laser field ionization: Spin induced effects
arXiv:2104.14438 · doi:10.1364/OE.431572
Abstract
Strong field processes in the non-relativistic regime are insensitive to the electron spin, i.e. the observables appear to be independent of this electron property. This does not have to be the case for several active electrons where Pauli principle may affect the their dynamics. We exemplify this statement studying model atoms with three active electrons interacting with strong pulsed radiation, using an ab-initio time-dependent Schrödinger equation on a grid. In our restricted dimensionality model we are able, for the first time, to analyse momenta correlations of the three outgoing electrons using Dalitz plots. We show that significant differences are obtained between model Neon and Nitrogen atoms. These differences are traced back to the different symmetries of the electronic wavefunctions, and directly related to the different initial state spin components.
