Probing Instantaneous Single-Molecule Chirality in the Planar Ground State of Formic Acid
D. Tsitsonis, M. Kircher, N. M. Novikovskiy +12
We experimentally demonstrate that individual molecules of formic acid are chiral even when they are in the vibronic ground state, which has a planar equilibrium structure. We ioni…
Magnetic-field effect in high-order above-threshold ionization
Kang Lin, Simon Brennecke, Hongcheng Ni +15
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the influence of the magnetic component of an electromagnetic field on high-order above-threshold ionization of xenon atoms driven b…
Photoelectron energy peaks shift against the radiation pressure in strong field ionization
Kang Lin, Sebastian Eckart, Alexander Hartung +8
The photoelectric effect describes the ejection of an electron upon absorption of one or several photons. The kinetic energy of this electron is determined by the photon energy red…
Ultrafast preparation and strong-field ionization of an atomic Bell-like state
S. Eckart, D. Trabert, J. Rist +4
Molecules are many body systems with a substantial amount of entanglement between their electrons. Is there a way to break the molecular bond of a diatomic molecule and obtain two…
Measuring the photoelectron emission delay in the molecular frame
Jonas Rist, Kim Klyssek, Nikolay M. Novikovskiy +22
If matter absorbs a photon of sufficient energy it emits an electron. The question of the duration of the emission process has intrigued scientists for decades. With the advent of…
Strong Differential Photoion Circular Dichroism in Strong-Field Ionization of Chiral Molecules
K. Fehre, S. Eckart, M. Kunitski +14
We investigate the differential ionization probability of chiral molecules in the strong field regime as a function of the helicity of the incident light. To this end, we analyze t…
Zeptosecond Birth Time Delay in Molecular Photoionization
Sven Grundmann, Daniel Trabert, Kilian Fehre +11
Photoionization is one of the fundamental light-matter interaction processes in which the absorption of a photon launches the escape of an electron. The time scale of the process p…
Electric Nondipole Effect in Strong-Field Ionization
A. Hartung, S. Brennecke, K. Lin +10
Strong-field ionization of atoms by circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses produces a donut-shaped electron momentum distribution. Within the dipole approximation this distr…
Chiral photoelectron angular distributions from ionization of achiral atomic and molecular species
Andreas Pier, Kilian Fehre, Sven Grundmann +12
We show that the combination of two achiral components - atomic or molecular target plus a circularly polarized photon - can yield chirally structured photoelectron angular distrib…
Angular dependence of the Wigner time delay upon tunnel ionization of
Daniel Trabert, Simon Brennecke, Kilian Fehre +9
More than 100 years after its discovery and its explanation in the energy domain, the duration of the photoelectric effect is still heavily studied. The emission time of a photoele…
Sideband Modulation by Sub-Cycle Interference
S. Eckart, D. Trabert, K. Fehre +9
We experimentally and theoretically show that the electron energy spectra strongly depend on the relative helicity in highly intense, circularly polarized two-color laser fields wh…
Revealing the Two-Electron Cusp in the Ground States of He and H2 via Quasifree Double Photoionization
S. Grundmann, V. Serov, F. Trinter +15
We report on kinematically complete measurements and ab initio non-perturbative calculations of double ionization of He and H2 by a single 800 eV circularly polarized photon. We co…
Magnetic fields alter tunneling in strong-field ionization
A. Hartung, S. Eckart, S. Brennecke +16
When a strong laser pulse induces the ionization of an atom, momentum conservation dictates that the absorbed photons transfer their momentum to the electron and its pa…

Quantum particles can penetrate potential barriers by tunneling (1). If that barrier is rotating, the tunneling process is modified (2,3). This is typical for electrons in atoms, m…
