Abstract:Double ionization has been well studied in atoms and diatomic molecules. However, polyatomic molecules, with more complicated electronic structure, have not been studied as extensively.We use few cycle intense ultrafast laser pulses and coincidence velocity map imaging to investigate strong field double ionization in molecules such as CH 2 IBr and 1,3-Cyclohexadiene. By using a time stamping camera to make vector momentum measurements of electrons and ions, we are able to distinguish between multiple double io… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
