Article Abstract

The momentum distribution of photoelectrons in H molecules subjected to an attosecond pulse is theoretically investigated. To better understand the laser-molecule interaction, we develop an in-line photoelectron holography approach that is analogous to optical holography. This approach is specifically suitable for extracting the amplitude and phase of the forward-scattered electron wave packet in a dissociating molecule with atomic precision. We also extend this approach to imaging the transient scattering cross-section of a molecule dressed by a near infrared laser field. This attosecond photoelectron holography sheds light on structural microscopy of dissociating molecules with high spatial-temporal resolution.

Correlating Photo-Induced Changes in Surface Charge and Electronic Conductivity in Oxide Nanoparticles with Electron Microscopy.

Photon induced changes in charge distributions and conductivities of oxide nanoparticles (rhodium doped strontium titanate) have been determined using electron holography. The holography-based approach relies on the application of two distinct stimuli to the material of interest: electrons and photons. The high energy electron beam stimulates the formation of a layer of positive surface charge due to secondary electron emission.

Photoelectron Spin Texture in Tunneling Ionization Induced by a Linearly Polarized Laser Pulse.

The spin polarization of photoelectrons in tunneling ionization is investigated using numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in companion with our analytic treatment via the spin-resolved strong-field approximation and classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate a nontrivial spin texture of photoelectrons in momentum space, exhibiting a vortex structure relative to the laser polarization axis. The momentum-resolved polarization stems from the emergence of spin-correlated quantum orbits in the continuum.

Pb-substituted La(O, F)BiS (Pb-LaOFBiS) exhibits improved superconducting properties and a resistivity anomaly around 100 K that is attributed to a structural transition. We have performed temperature(T)-dependent photoelectron holography (PEH) to study dopant incorporation sites and the local structure change across the anomaly. The PEH study of Pb-LaOFBiS provided evidence for the dominant incorporation sites of Pb and F: Pb atoms are incorporated into the Bi sites and F atoms are incorporated into the O site.

Tunneling ionization is a crucial process in the interaction between strong laser fields and matter which initiates numerous nonlinear phenomena including high-order harmonic generation, photoelectron holography, etc. Both adiabatic and nonadiabatic tunneling ionization are well understood in atomic systems. However, the tunneling dynamics in solids, especially nonadiabatic tunneling, has not yet been fully understood.
