Electron detachment from negative ions in a short laser pulse

ec 1 99 7 Electron detachment from negative ions in bichromatic laser field

Negative ion detachment in two-colour laser field is considered within the recent modification of Keldysh model which makes it quantitatively reliable. The general approach is illustrated by calculation of angular differential detachment rates, partial rates for particular ATD (Above Threshold Detachment) channels and total detachment rates for H − ion in bichromatic field with 1:2 frequency ra...

Adiabatic Theory of Electron Detachment from Negative Ions in Two-Color Laser Field

Negative ion detachment in bichromatic laser field is considered within the adiabatic theory. The latter represents a recent modification of the famous Keldysh model for multiphoton ionization [L. V. Keldysh, Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 47, 1945 (1964) [Sov. Phys.-JETP 20, 1307 (1965)]] which makes it quantitatively reliable. We calculate angular differential detachment rates, partial rates for partic...

Multiphoton detachment of electrons from negative ions

A simple analytical solution for the problem of multiphoton detachment from negative ions by a linearly polarized laser field is found. It is valid in the wide range of intensities and frequencies of the field, from the perturbation theory to the tunneling regime, and is applicable to the excess-photon as well as nearthreshold detachment. Practically, the formulae are valid when the number of p...

Electron Impact Detachment of Weakly Bound Negative Ions

A method is presented for accurately calculating the total electron impact detachment cross section for weakly bound negative ions. The results are compared to recent experiments for electron impact detachment of H and B. Cross sections differential in energy are presented which elucidate some of the dynamics of the detachment process. A scaling law for the cross section is proposed. [S0031-900...
