Single-photon ionization of aligned H2+ with lower photon energy
Abstract
We study single-photon ionization of aligned H2+ in a high-frequency low-intensity laser field. We focus on the case where the laser frequency is not far larger than the ionization potential of the target. The calculated photoelectron momentum distribution through numerical solution of time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation shows clear interference patterns. By developing a theory model applicable for high-frequency laser field, we show that the interference patterns can not be explained by the interference of the electronic wave with the observed momentum between these two atomic centers of the molecule. The Coulomb potential influences remarkably on the momentum of the emitting electronic wave responsible for this interference. Our results suggest a manner for probing the structure and the electron dynamics of the molecule in single-photon ionization.
