Strong-field ionization of atoms with $p^3$ valence shell: Two versus three active electrons

Atomic Physics 2020-07-01 v2

Abstract

For a model atom with the p3p^3 valence shell we construct consistent three- and two-active electrons models enabling their direct comparison. Within these models, we study the influence of the third active electron on the double ionization yield in strong femtosecond laser fields. We reveal proportionality between double ionization signals obtained with both models in the field intensity region where non-sequential ionization dominates. We derive analytically a correspondence rule connecting the double ionization yields obtained within the three- and two-active electrons models.
