Half-Cycle Pulse Assisted Electron-Ion Recombination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unipolar “half-cycle” electric field pulses (HCPs) have been used to recombine free electrons and calcium ions. The field assisted process is very similar to controlled three-body recombination in plasmas. We report on experiments that utilize HCP assisted recombination to probe the probability distribution of continuum electron wave packets and produce bound wave packets that are highly localized in three spatial dimensions.

The mechanism of electron–cation geminate recombination in liquid isooctane
Electron–cation geminate recombination in isooctane has been reinvestigated by femtosecond spectroscopy. The observed recombination kinetics are well-fit by a single exponential decay (s = 400 ± 40 fs) and exhibit a significant hydrogen/deuterium kinetic isotope effect. The kinetics are not affected by varying the incident intensity or by exciting the recombining electrons with a high power 800...
متن کاملCoherent control of electron wave packets in dissociating H + 2
Coherent control of electron localization in the dissociation of a hydrogen molecular ion exposed to an attosecond pulse train and a time-delayed near-infrared laser pulse are studied by solving numerically the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The attosecond pulses in the train generate a train of electron wave packets in the dissociating molecular ion, which are steered by the near-infrare...
متن کاملModeling of a millisecond pulsed glow discharge: Investigation of the afterpeak
We have developed a comprehensive modeling network for a millisecond pulsed glow discharge in argon (Ar) with copper (Cu) cathode, to describe the behavior of the various plasma species. Typical results of the model are shown, such as the potential distribution during and after the pulse, the densities of Ar ions, Ar atoms in the metastable and various other excited levels, Cu atoms and Cu ions...
متن کاملElectron emission perpendicular to polarization direction in laser assisted XUV atomic ionization
We present a theoretical study of ionization of the hydrogen atom due to an XUV pulse in the presence of an IR laser with both fields linearly polarized in the same direction. In particular, we study the energy distribution of photoelectrons emitted perpendicularly to the polarization direction. By means of a very simple semiclassical model which considers electron trajectories born at differen...
متن کاملRydberg state ionization by half-cycle-pulse excitation: strong kicks create slow electrons.
The asymptotic velocity distribution of electrons ionized in half-cycle-pulse excitation of high Rydberg states (n=34), placed in a static electric field, is studied using electron velocity-map imaging. At weak half-cycle pulse strengths, the electrons escape over the saddle point in the potential. For strong half-cycle pulses, the electrons are emitted in the direction of the field kick. The m...
