Doubly resonant three-photon double ionization of Ar atoms induced by an EUV free-electron laser
- 2011

In: Physical Review A (Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics). - 1050-2947. ; 84:6
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A mechanism for three-photon double ionization of atoms by extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses is revealed, where in a sequential process the second ionization step, proceeding via resonant two-photon ionization of ions, is strongly enhanced by the excitation of ionic autoionizing states. In contrast to the conventional model, the mechanism explains the observed relative intensities of photoelectron peaks and their angular dependence in three-photon double ionization of argon.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Xenon atoms are double-ionized by sequential two-photon absorption by ultrashort extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses with a photon energy of 23.0 and 24.3 eV, produced by the SPring-8 Compact SASE Source test accelerator. The angular distributions of photoelectrons generated by two-photon double ionization are obtained using velocity map imaging. The results are reproduced reasonably well by the present theoretical calculations within the multi-configurational Dirac-Fock approach.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We have investigated multiple ionization of N-2 and O-2 molecules by 52 nm extreme-ultraviolet light pulses at the free-electron laser facility SCSS in Japan. Coulomb break-up of parent ions with charge states up to 5+ is found by the ion-ion coincidence technique. The charge-state dependence of kinetic energy release distributions suggests that the electrons are emitted sequentially in competition with the elongation of the bond length.

Photoelectron angular distributions for the two-photon ionization of helium by ultrashort extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses
- 2013
-
In: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. - : IOP Publishing. - 0953-4075 .- 1361-6455. ; 46:16
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The two-photon ionization of helium atoms by ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses, produced by the SPring-8 Compact SASE Source test accelerator, was investigated at photon energies of 20.3, 21.3, 23.0 and 24.3 eV. The angular distribution of photoelectrons generated by two-photon ionization is obtained using a velocity map imaging spectrometer. The phase-shift differences and amplitude ratios of the outgoing s and d continuum wave packets are extracted from the photoelectron angular distributions. The obtained values of the phase-shift differences are distinct from scattering phase-shift differences when the photon energy is tuned to a resonance with an excited level or Rydberg manifold. The difference stems from the co-presence of resonant and non-resonant path contributions in the two-photon ionization by femtosecond pulses. Since the relative contribution of both paths can be controlled in principle by the pulse shape, these results illustrate a new way to tailor the continuum wave packet.

Formation of the energetic doubly charged ne ion by irradiation of large neon clusters using intense EUV-FEL pulses at 52 nm
- 2010
-
In: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : Institute of Physics (IOP). - 1742-6596.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The interaction of clusters with intense EUV-FEL pulses was investigated using the SPring-8 Compact SASE Source (SCSS) test facility in Japan. Neon clusters of mean sizes = 1000 and 4000 were irradiated by intense FEL pulses at 52 nm and emitted ions were detected by a momentum imaging spectrometer. The production of energetic doubly charged ions was not found for Ne 1000, but it was observed for Ne 4000 clusters, which suggests that an inhomogeneous charge distribution is generated for the larger clusters.

Unusual under-threshold ionization of neon clusters studied by ion spectroscopy

In: Journal of Physics B. - : IOP Publishing. - 0953-4075 .- 1361-6455. ; 46:16 SI
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We carried out time-of-flight mass spectrometry for neon clusters that were exposed to intense free electron laser pulses with the wavelength of 62 nm, which induce optical transition from the ground state (2s(2) 2p(6)) to an excited state (2s(2) 2p(5) nl) in the Ne atoms. In contrast to Ne+ ions produced by two-photon absorption from isolated Ne atoms, the Ne+ ion yield from Ne clusters shows a linear dependence on the laser intensity (I). We discuss the ionization mechanisms which give the linear behaviour with respect to I and expected features in the electron emission spectrum.

Charge and energy transfer in argon-core-neon-shell clusters irradiated by free-electron-laser pulses at 62 nm
- 2012

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The multiple ionization of Ar-core-Ne-shell clusters in intense extreme-ultraviolet laser pulses (lambda similar to 62 nm) from the free-electron laser in Japan was investigated utilizing a momentum imaging technique. The Ar composition dependence of the kinetic energies and the yields of the fragment ions give evidence for charge transfer from the Ar core to the Ne shell. We have extended the uniformly charged sphere model originally applied to pristine clusters [Islam et al., Phys. Rev. A 73, 041201 (R) (2006)] to the core-shell heterogeneous clusters to estimate the amounts of charge and energy transfers.

Charge transfer dynamics in molecular solids and adsorbates driven by local and non-local excitations
- 2012

-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Charge transfer pathways and charge transfer times in molecular films and in adsorbate layers depend both on the details of the electronic structure as well as on the degree of the initial localization of the propagating excited electronic state. For C6F6 molecular adsorbate films on the Cu(111) surface we determined the interplay between excited state localization and charge transfer pathways. In particular we selectively prepared a free-particle-like LUMO band excitation and compared it to a molecularly localized core-excited C1s -> pi* C6F6 LUMO state using time-resolved two-photon photoemission (tr-2PPE) and core-sole-clock (CHC) spectroscopy, respectively. For the molecularly localized core-excited C1s -> pi* C6F6 LUMO state, we separate the intramolecular dynamics from the charge transfer dynamics to the metal substrate by taking the intramolecular dynamics of the free C6F6 molecule into account Our analysis yields a generally applicable description of charge transfer within molecular adsorbates and to the substrate.

Dynamic interpretation of resonant x-ray Raman scattering : ethylene and benzene
- 2007
-
In: Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics. - 1050-2947 .- 1094-1622. ; 76:3, s. 032505-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a dynamic interpretation of resonant x-ray Raman scattering where vibrationally selective excitation into molecular resonances has been employed in comparison with excitation into higher lying continuum states for condensed ethylene and benzene as molecular model systems. In order to describe the purely vibrational spectral loss features and coupled electronic and vibrational losses the one-step theory for resonant soft x-ray scattering is applied, taking multiple vibrational modes and vibronic coupling into account. The scattering profile is found to be strongly excitation energy dependent and to reflect the intermediate states dynamics of the scattering process. In particular, the purely vibrational loss features allow one to map the electronic ground state potential energy surface in light of the excited state dynamics. Our study of ethylene and benzene underlines the necessity of an explicit description of the coupled electronic and vibrational loss features for the assignment of spectral features observed in resonant x-ray Raman scattering at polyatomic systems, which can be done in both a time independent and a time dependent picture. The possibility to probe ground state vibrational properties opens a perspective to future applications of this photon-in-photon-out spectroscopy.

- We have studied the spectral features of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering of condensed ethylene with vibrational selectivity both experimentally and theoretically. Purely vibrational spectral loss features and coupled electronic and vibrational losses are observed. The one-step theory for resonant soft x-ray scattering is applied, taking multiple vibrational modes and vibronic coupling into account. Our investigation of ethylene underlines that the assignment of spectral features observed in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering of polyatomic systems requires an explicit description of the coupled electronic and vibrational loss features.

Probing the Electron Delocalization in Liquid Water and Ice at Attosecond Time Scales
- 2007
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - : American Physical Society. - 1079-7114 .- 0031-9007. ; 99, s. 217406-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We determine electron delocalization rates in liquid water and ice using core-hole decay spectroscopy. The hydrogen-bonded network delocalizes the electrons in less than 500 as. Broken or weak hydrogen bonds—in the liquid or at the surface of ice—provide states where the electron remains localized longer than 20 fs. These asymmetrically bonded water species provide electron traps, acting as a strong precursor channel to the hydrated electron.

Intramolecular vibronic dynamics in molecular solids: C60
- 2005
-
In: Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics). - 1098-0121. ; 72:20
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Vibronic coupling in solid C60 has been investigated with a combination of resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RPES) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). Excitation as a function of energy within the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital resonance yielded strong oscillations in intensity and dispersion in RPES, and a strong inelastic component in RIXS. Reconciling these two observations establishes that vibronic coupling in this core hole excitation leads to predominantly inelastic scattering and localization of the excited vibrations on the molecule on a femtosecond time scale. The coupling extends throughout the widths of the frontier valence bands.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in thick films of pyridine carboxylic acids (isonicotinic; picolinic and bi-isonicotinic acid) evaporated onto rutile TiO2(1 1 0) has been investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. These molecules are shown to be strongly H-bonded in the condensed phase, and a surface core-level shift is observed due to the presence of non-H-bonded nitrogen atoms in the surface layer. Density functional theory calculations are used to relate the experimental data to the proposed bonding configurations based on the surface termination of the known equilibrium solid-state structure. A kinetic barrier, attributed to the high degree of molecular orientation required for the formation of extended H-bonding networks, has also been investigated.
