Laser-Enabled Auger Decay in Rare-Gas Atoms

Journal Article Ranitovic, P ; Hogle, C W ; Zhou, X ; ... - Physical Review Letters

In rare-gas atoms, Auger decay in which an inner-valence shell ns hole is filled is not energetically allowed. However, in the presence of a strong laser field, a new laser-enabled Auger decay channel can open up to increase the double-ionization yield. This process is efficient at high laser intensities, where an ns hole can be filled within a few femtoseconds of its creation. This novel laser-enabled Auger decay process is of fundamental importance for controlling electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, and materials.

Theory and experiment on laser-enabled inner-valence Auger decay of rare-gas atoms

Journal Article Tong, X M ; Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8577 ; Ranitovic, P ; ... - Physical Review. A

In rare-gas atoms, an inner-valence shell ns hole cannot be filled by Auger decay because of an energy deficiency. We show theoretically and experimentally that by adding a moderately intense infrared laser, Auger decay is possible with decay rates increasing dramatically for laser intensities {>=}10{sup 13} W/cm{sup 2}. For Xe atoms, the simulated laser-enabled Auger decay yields are comparable with the experimental one, while for Ar atoms, the simulated ones are much smaller. We attribute the discrepancies to screening effects of the photoelectron. Laser-enabled Auger decay is of fundamental importance for understanding attosecond science, and is also important for experimentalmore »« less

Post-collision interaction in Auger-electron emission of rare-gas atoms following electron-impact ionization

Journal Article Ishii, H ; Iketaki, Y ; Watabe, T ; ... - Physical Review, A; (USA)

A study of post-collision interaction has been carried out experimentally for Auger-electron emission of rare-gas atoms following electron-impact ionization. Spectra of the Xe {ital N}{sub 5}{ital O23}{ital O23} ({sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0}), Kr {ital M}{sub 5}{ital N1}{ital N23} ({sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}), and Ar {ital L}{sub 3}{ital M23}{ital M23} ({sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0}) Auger electrons have been measured changing the electron-impact energy from slightly above the threshold of the ionization to a few kilo-electron-volts. The Auger line shape has been analyzed using a profile formula that includes the finiteness of the velocities of all the cooperating electrons. Moreover, the analysismore »« less

Atomic and molecular collision processes in rare-gas-halide lasers and rare-gas excimer lasers

Journal Article Flannery, M R - Int. J. Quant. Chem., Symp.; (United States)

The key cycles of atomic and molecular collision processes contributing to the formation and quenching of the excited molecular states in exciplex (such as KrF*) and excimer (such as Xe/sub 2/*) laser systems are delineated and discussed.

Kinetics of growth and decay of excited rare-gas atoms and molecules in the pulse radiolysis of pure rare gases and of mixtures of rare gases with molecular quenching agents

Technical Report Firestone, R. F.

The temporal behavior of vibrationally relaxed first triplet Kr/sub 2/ in the presence of N/sub 2/ has been examined, and the rate constant for destructive quenching by N/sub 2/ has been evaluated at 298K. Its value is of the same order of magnitude as that for quenching of first triplet Ar/sub 2/, but is somewhat smaller. This suggests that the krypton and argon excimers excite different electronic states of N/sub 2/, the former leading to N/sub 2/(A) and N/sub 2/(B) and the latter principally to N/sub 2/(C), in accord with the general rule that near-resonant energy transfer tends to bemore »« less
