Dynamic exchange in the strong field ionization of molecules

Atomic Physics 2015-09-09 v2

Abstract

We show that dynamic exchange is a dominant effect in strong field ionization of molecules. In CO2CO_2 it fixes the peak ionization yield at the experimentally observed angle of 4545^\circ between polarization direction and the molecular axis. In N2N_2 it changes the alignment dependence of yields by up to a factor of 2. The effect appears on the Hartree-Fock level as well as in full {\it ab initio} solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation.
