Does Carrier Envelope Phase Affect the Ionization Site in a Neutral Diatomic Molecule?
A recent work shows how to extract the ionization site of a neutral diatomic molecule by comparing Quantum Trajectory Monte Carlo (QTMC) simulations with experimental measurements of the final electron momenta distribution. This method was applied to an experiment using a 40-femtosecond infrared pulse, finding that a downfield atom is roughly twice as likely to be ionized as an upfield atom in a neutral nitrogen molecule. However, an open question remains as to whether an assumption of the zero carrier envelope phase (CEP) used in the above work is still valid for short, few-cycle pulses where the CEP can play a large role. Given experimentalists’ limited control over the CEP and its dramatic effect on electron momenta after ionization, it is desirable to see what influence the CEP may have in determining the ionization site. In this paper, we employ QTMC techniques to simulate strong-field ionization and electron propagation from neutral N2 using an intense 6-cycle laser pulse with various CEP values. Comparing simulated electron momenta to experimental data indicates that the ratio of down-to-upfield ions remains roughly 2:1 regardless of the CEP. This confirms that the ionization site of a neutral molecule is determined predominantly by the laser frequency and intensity, as well as the ground-state molecular wavefunction, and is largely independent of the CEP.

期刊介绍:
Atoms (ISSN 2218-2004) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly journal of scientific studies related to all aspects of the atom. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications; there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided for research articles. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: -manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. -computed data, program listings, and files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Scopes: -experimental and theoretical atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics, chemical physics -the study of atoms, molecules, nuclei and their interactions and constituents (protons, neutrons, and electrons) -quantum theory, applications and foundations -microparticles, clusters -exotic systems (muons, quarks, anti-matter) -atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy and collisions -nuclear energy (fusion and fission), radioactive decay -nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR), hyperfine interactions -orbitals, valence and bonding behavior -atomic and molecular properties (energy levels, radiative properties, magnetic moments, collisional data) and photon interactions
