Tracking molecular hydrogen formation from ionized water in real time
Chuan Cheng, Chi-Hong Yuen, Eleanor Weckwerth +8
Removing an electron from a water molecule can drive its two hydrogen atoms to pair up and depart as molecular hydrogen. However, even for this elementary reaction, the route from…

Electron spectra from strong-field enhanced ionization in heavy water
Eleanor Weckwerth, Chuan Cheng, Ian Gabalski +6
Strong-field enhanced ionization (EI) is a phenomenon in which stretching of interatomic bonds into a distorted molecular geometry leads to an increase in the tunneling ionization…

Isotope-Selective Strong Field Ionization of Semi-Heavy Water
Andrew J. Howard, M. Britton, Zachary L. Streeter +4
Semi-heavy water (HOD) is one of the simplest molecules in which the bonds are labelled by isotope. We demonstrate that a pair of intense few-femtosecond infrared laser pulses can…
