Abstract

Angular correlations between photoelectrons in sequential triple three-photon ionization of noble gas atoms are calculated and analyzed. Angular distributions of first-, second- and third-step electrons are obtained. Preferential experimental geometries to observe the angular correlations are proposed.

Angular distributions and correlations in sequential three-photon triple atomic ionization

Грызлова Елена Владимировна, A N Grum-Grzhimailo, N M Kabachnik +1 more

A theoretical description of the sequential three-photon triple atomic ionization is given within a model of stepwise ionization with emphasis on the angular distributions and angular correlations of the emitted electrons. The theory is applied to the photoionization of neon atom at 90.5 eV, corresponding to the experiment performed at the Free electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) by A. Rouzee et al (Phys. Rev. A 83 031401(R) (2011)).

Angular correlations between two electrons emitted in the sequential two-photon double ionization of atoms

Грызлова Елена Владимировна, A N Grum-Grzhimailo, S. Fritzsche +1 more

Angular correlations between two emitted photoelectrons in the sequential two-photon double ionization (TPDI) of atoms are theoretically considered. The general expression for the angular correlation function is analysed and some particular geometries of possible experiments are discussed. The concept of true angular correlations is introduced in contrast to the angular dependence of the two-electron emission from two uncorrelated ionization events. The case of a pure LS coupling description of the TPDI is considered in detail and compared with the general case. As an example, calculations of the angular correlation functions are performed and discussed for sequential TPDI from the 4p valence shell of krypton.

Angular distributions of electrons in sequential two-photon double ionization of atoms by free electron laser radiation

Грызлова Елена Владимировна, A N Grum-Grzhimailo, N M Kabachnik +1 more

Calculated results for angular distribution and angular correlation of electrons produced in the process of two-photon double ionization of Xe are presented. In particular, a peculiar dependence of the angular distribution of the second step electrons on the alignment of the intermediate ionic state is predicted. The angular correlations of the electrons qualitatively depend on the term of the residual double charged ion. The results can be used in ongoing and future experiments with free-electron laser.

Photoelectron angular distributions from multiphoton ionization of cesium atoms

R. N. Compton, John A. D. Stockdale, C. Dewey Cooper +2 more

We present both experimental and theoretical studies of resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization of cesium atoms. Photoelectron angular distributions for two-photon ionization via the one-photon-allowed $7p^{2}P_{\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}$ and $8p^{2}P_{\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}$ intermediate states and three-photon ionization via the two-photon-allowed $8d^{2}D_{\frac{5}{2},\frac{3}{2}}$ resonant intermediate states are reported. The photoelectrons are energy analyzed with a spherical-sector electrostatic energy analyzer with an energy resolution of ~ 0.1 eV and angular resolution of ~ \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. A straightforward calculation based upon a finestructure scheme gives excellent agreement with the measured angular distributions for the $^{2}P_{\frac{1}{2}}$ states. The laser pulse duration is comparable to the hyperfine precession period which allows the hyperfine coupling to partially destroy the anisotropy initially produced in the $^{2}P_{\frac{3}{2}}$ resonant intermediate states. Quantitative calculations including hyperfine coupling take this into account and provide an expression which gives a reasonable fit to the $^{2}P_{\frac{3}{2}}$ data.

Sequential two-photon double ionization of noble gas atoms

Anatoli S. Kheifets

We develop a formalism which describes sequential two-photon double ionization (TPDI) of a closed-shell atom. We apply this formalism to calculate the angular asymmetry parameters of sequential TPDI of the Ne 2p and Ar 3p valence subshells. Comparison with the latest experimental data is made.

Multiphoton ionization of Ba atoms with photoelectron spectroscopy

A. Yu. Elizarov

An experimental and theoretically study is performed of the angular photoelectron distribution for three-photon ionization of Ba atoms through the 2(omega) -excited intermediate state 6p2 (1So) and the auto- ionized state 6p8s(3P1). Rotation of the polarization plane of dye-laser radiation allowed us to investigate the photoelectron angular distribution. Electrons were counted with the help of a time-of-flight electron spectrometer. Employing the density-matrix formalism, expressions have been obtained for angular dependence of the differential ionizations probability. Possible experiments are discussed.
