Bichromatic extreme-ultraviolet pulses from a seeded free-electron laser enable us to measure photoelectron angular distribution (PAD) as a function of the relative phase between the different wavelength components. The time-dependent multiconfiguration self-consistent-field (TD-MCSCF) methods are powerful multielectron computation methods to accurately simulate such photoionization dynamics from the first principles. Here we propose a method to evaluate the amplitude and phase of each ionization path, which completely determines the photoionization processes, using TD-MCSCF simulation results. The idea is to exploit the capability of TD-MCSCF to calculate the partial wave amplitudes specified by the azimuthal and magnetic angular momenta (l,m) and the m-resolved PAD. The phases of the ionization paths as well as the amplitudes of the paths resulting in the same (l,m) are obtained through global fitting of the expression of the asymmetry parameters to the calculated m-resolved PAD, which depends on the relative phase of the bichromatic field. We apply the present method to ionization of Ne by combined fundamental and second-harmonic XUV pulses, demonstrating that the extracted amplitudes and phases excellently reproduce the asymmetry parameters.

We present an implementation of a time-dependent multiconfiguration self-consistent-field (TD-MCSCF) method [R. Anzaki et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 19, 22008 (2017)] with the full configuration interaction expansion for coupled electron-nuclear dy namics in diatomic molecules subject to a strong laser field. In this method, the total wave function is expressed as a superposition of different configurations constructed from time-dependent electronic Slater determinants and time-dependent orthonormal nuclear basis functions. The primitive basis functions of nuclei and electrons are strictly independent of each other without invoking the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Our implementation treats the electronic motion in its full dimensionality on curvilinear coordinates, while the nuclear wave function is propagated on a one-dimensional stretching coordinate with rotational nuclear motion neglected. We apply the present implementation to high-harmonic generation and dissociative ionization of a hydrogen molecule and discuss the role of electron-nuclear correlation.
The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method was used to study two different ion thruster concepts - Stationary Plasma Thrusters (SPT) and High Efficiency Multistage Plasma Thrusters (HEMP-T), in particular the plasma properties in the discharge chamber due to the different magnetic field configurations. Special attention was paid to the simulation of plasma particle fluxes on the thrusters channel surfaces. In both cases, PIC proved itself as a powerful tool, delivering important insight into the basic physics of the different thruster concepts. The simulations demonstrated that the new HEMP thruster concept allows for a high thermal efficiency due to both minimal energy dissipation and high acceleration efficiency. In the HEMP thruster the plasma contact to the wall is limited only to very small areas of the magnetic field cusps, which results in much smaller ion energy flux to the thruster channel surface as compared to SPT. The erosion yields for dielectric discharge channel walls of SPT and HEMP thrusters were calculated with the binary collision code SDTrimSP. For SPT, an erosion rate on the level of 1 mm of sputtered material per hour was observed. For HEMP, thruster simulations have shown that there is no erosion inside the dielectric discharge channel.
We present the numerical implementation of the time-dependent complete-active-space self-consistent-field (TD-CASSCF) method [Phys. Rev. A, 88, 023402 (2013)] for atoms driven by a strong linearly polarized laser pulse. The present implementation tre ats the problem in its full dimensionality and introduces a gauge-invariant frozen-core approximation, an efficient evaluation of the Coulomb mean field scaling linearly with the number of basis functions, and a split-operator method specifically designed for stable propagation of stiff spatial derivative operators. We apply this method to high-harmonic generation in helium, beryllium, and neon and explore the role of electron correlations.

The interaction force between likely charged particles/surfaces is usually repulsive due to the Coulomb interaction. However, the counterintuitive like-charge attraction in electrolytes has been frequently observed in experiments, which has been theo retically debated for a long time. It is widely known that the mean field Poisson-Boltzmann theory cannot explain or predict this anomalous feature since it ignores many-body properties. In this paper, we develop efficient algorithm and perform the force calculation between two interfaces using a set of self-consistent equations which properly takes into account the electrostatic correlation and the dielectric-boundary effects. By solving the equations and calculating the pressure with the Debye-charging process, we show that the self-consistent equations could be used to study the attraction between like-charge surfaces from weak-coupling to mediate-coupling regime, and that the attraction is due to the electrostatics-driven entropic force which is significantly enhanced by the dielectric depletion of mobile ions. A systematic investigation shows that the interaction forces can be tuned by material permittivity, ionic size and valence, and salt concentration, and that the like-charge attraction exists only for specific regime of these parameters.
This paper discusses the capture of an ion beam in a magnetized plasma of an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source based Charge Breeder, as modelled by numerical simulations. As a relevant step forward with respect to previous works, here the captu re is modeled by considering a plasma structure determined in a self-consisent way. The plasmoid-halo structure of the ECR plasma - that is consisting of a dense core (the plasmoid) surrounded by a rarefied halo - is further confirmed by the self-consistent calculations, having also some fine structures affected by the electromagnetic field distribution and by the magnetostatic field profile. The capture of Rb1+ ions has been investigated in details, vs. various plasma parameters, and then compared to experimental results.
