For the ionization of gaseous samples, most ion mobility spectrometers employ radioactive ionization sources, e.g., containing 63Ni or 3H. Besides legal restrictions, radioactive materials have the disadvantage of a constant ...

Motivated by recent experiments on circular dichroism in the photoelectron momentum distributions from strong-field ionization of chiral molecules [C. Lux, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 51, 5001 (2012)1433-785110.1002/anie.201109035; ...

We extend the ideas of wave-packet interferometry to implement the algorithm of spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER) for characterizing the amplitude and phase of electron wave ...

The ionization rate of an atom in a strong optical field can be resonantly enhanced by the presence of long-living atomic levels (so-called Freeman resonances). This process is most prominent in the multiphoton ionization ...

The modeling of the laser-induced damage processes can be divided into thermal and electronic processes. Especially, electronic damage seems to be well understood. In corresponding models, the damage threshold is linked ...
