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…

Optical Interference Effect in Strong-field Electronic Coherence Spectroscopy

Eleanor Weckwerth, Andrew J. Howard, Chuan Cheng +6

We have investigated strong-field-induced electronic coherences in argon and molecular nitrogen ions created by high-intensity, few-cycle infrared laser pulses. This is a step towa…

Imaging valence electron rearrangement in a chemical reaction using hard X-ray scattering

Ian Gabalski, Alice Green, Philipp Lenzen +24

We have observed the signatures of valence electron rearrangement in photoexcited ammonia using ultrafast hard X-ray scattering. Time-resolved X-ray scattering is a powerful tool f…

Covariance Analysis of Impulsive Streaking

Jun Wang, Zhaoheng Guo, Erik Isele +4

We present a comprehensive framework of modeling covariance in angular streaking experiments. Within the impulsive streaking regime, the displacement of electron momentum distribut…

Orientation-Dependent Enhanced Ionization in Acetylene Revealed by Ultrafast Cross-Polarized Pulse Pairs

S. A. Mohideen, A. J. Howard, C. Cheng +4

We investigate the orientation dependence of Enhanced Ionization (EI) during strong-field-driven nuclear motion in acetylene (CH). Here, we both initiate and probe molecula…
