Abstract
Comprehension of photon-triggered molecular processes is essential in the study of various important topics in physics, chemistry, and biology. Here we propose a correlated tunneling picture to understand the dissociative ionization process of molecules in intense laser fields based on a quantum model developed in the framework of many-body S-matrix theory including nuclear vibrational motion. In this quantum correlation picture, the single ionization of H2 and the subsequent electron-ion recollision-induced dissociation are considered as an entangled correlated process. It enables us to attribute the interference pattern in the joint-energy spectra to combined effects of single-slit diffraction and multi-slit interference of correlated electron-nuclear wave packets in the time domain. Our work opens a new avenue to understanding molecular dissociative ionization processes in external fields.
理解光子触发的分子过程对于研究物理学、化学和生物学中的各种重要课题至关重要。在此,我们基于多体 S 矩阵理论(包括核振动运动)框架下建立的量子模型,提出了一种相关隧道图,以理解分子在强激光场中的离解电离过程。在这个量子关联图中,H2 的单次电离和随后的电子-离子再碰撞引起的解离被视为一个纠缠关联过程。这使我们能够将联合能谱中的干涉模式归因于时域中相关电子-核波包的单缝衍射和多缝干涉的综合效应。我们的工作为理解外部场中的分子离解电离过程开辟了一条新途径。
