Coherence and correlations in fast ion-atom collisions

J.E. Burgdoerfer

This paper focusses on the description, classification and interpretation of coherent excitation of atomic or ionic systems with Coulombic two-body final state interactions. A group-theoretical approach is used to classify and interpret coherent excitation. The most significant result is that the state of excitation represented by a density operator can be mapped one to one onto expectation values of a set of operators. Examples are used to illustrate what can be learned about the collision process from investigations of coherent excitation. (JDH)

Population of the potassium fine structure states 42P1/2and 42P3/2in collisions with mercury and several molecules

Volker Kempter, W Koch, C Schmidt

The population of the potassium fine structure states 4 2 P 1/2 and 4 2 P 3/2 has been determined from the emission intensity of the fine structure components K(4 2 P 1/2 to 4 2 S 1/2 ) and K(4 2 P 3/2 to 4 2 S 1/2 ) after excitation in collisions with Hg, N 2 , O 2 , CO 2 and NO 2 . The energy dependence of the population ratio is investigated for the above species in the energy range between 2 and 50 eV.

Enhanced excited-state population and coherence via adiabatic tunneling ionization and excitation

Chi Hong Yuen

Tunneling ionization followed by strong-field excitation leads to important ultrafast phenomena such as charge migration and lasing. Recent theoretical developments suggest that the population of the ionic excited state can be greatly enhanced due to the complex interplay between tunneling and excitation. In this Letter, using an adiabatic approach for both tunneling and excitation, semi-analytical solutions are derived for the population and coherence of a two-level ionic system. This approach removes the strong-field dressing, revealing novel sub-half-cycle processes for excited state population and coherence buildup. It predicts that the excited state population is enhanced by an order of magnitude, independent of the laser wavelength, while coherence amplitude can be boosted by over four orders of magnitude for a multi-cycle pulse. For a single-cycle pulse, it suggests that coherence amplitude decreases rapidly as the wavelength increases. This work introduces a novel framework for generating and controlling the electronic excited state and coherence using intense laser pulses, with applications in strong-field control of chemistry and lasing.
