Abstract

Double ionization (NSDI) of atoms subject to ultrashort intense laser is a prototype model for the study of the three-body Coulomb problem intervened by the highly nonlinear interaction of electrons with a strong laser field. In this Chapter, we present some of its interesting aspects such as “knee” structure of double ionization yields, recollision threshold as well as some striking correlated electron momentum distributions, and provide insight into them with the help of semiclassical simulations based on classical trajectory ensemble.

  51. The atomic ADK theory has been extended to diatomic molecules; see, for example, X. M. Tong et al., Phys. Rev. A 66 033402 (2002), and I. V. Litvinyuk et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 233003 (2003). However, we found that the employment of atomic ADK formula instead of the complicated molecular ADK formula does not lead to significant discrepancy in calculating the ratios between double and single ionization. So, for simplicity, we adopt \(\varpi (t_{0})=\frac{4(2I_{p1})^{2}}{\varepsilon (t_{0})}\exp (-\frac{2(2\left|I_{p1}\right|)^{3/2}}{3\varepsilon (t_{0})})\) in our calculations
