We describe the results of experiments and simulations performed with the aim of extending photoelectron spectroscopy with intense laser pulses to the case of molecular compounds. Dimer frame photoelectron angular distributions generated by double ionization of N$_2$-N$_2$ and N$_2$-O$_2$ van der Waals dimers with ultrashort, intense laser pulses are measured using four-body coincidence imaging with a reaction microscope. To study the influence of the first-generated molecular ion on the ionization behavior of the remaining neutral molecule we employ a two-pulse sequence comprising of a linearly polarized and a delayed elliptically polarized laser pulse that allows distinguishing the two ionization steps. By analysis of the obtained electron momentum distributions we show that scattering of the photoelectron on the neighbouring molecular potential leads to a deformation and rotation of the photoelectron angular distribution as compared to that measured for an isolated molecule. Based on this result we demonstrate that the electron momentum space in the dimer case can be separated, allowing to extract information about the ionization pathway from the photoelectron angular distributions. Our work, when implemented with variable pulse delay, opens up the possibility of investigating light-induced electronic dynamics in molecular dimers using angularly resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with intense laser pulses.
The laser-induced fragmentation dynamics of this most fundamental polar molecule HeH$^+$ are measured using an ion beam of helium hydride and an isotopologue at various wavelengths and intensities. In contrast to the prevailing interpretation of stro
Comment on the PRL paper.
We analyzed the two-dimensional (2D) electron momentum distributions of high-energy photoelectrons of atoms in an intense laser field using the second-order strong field approximation (SFA2). The SFA2 accounts for the rescattering of the returning el
Proton migration is a ubiquitous process in chemical reactions related to biology, combustion, and catalysis. Thus, the ability to control the movement of nuclei with tailored light, within a hydrocarbon molecule holds promise for far-reaching applic
Phase-shift differences and amplitude ratios of the outgoing $s$ and $d$ continuum wave packets generated by two-photon ionization of helium atoms are determined from the photoelectron angular distributions obtained using velocity map imaging. Helium
