We investigate single photon double ionization (PDI) of helium at photon energies of 440 and 800 eV. We observe doubly charged ions with close to zero momentum corresponding to electrons emitted back-to-back with equal energy. These slow…

In this work we investigate small clusters of helium atoms using the hyperspherical harmonic basis. We consider systems with $A=2,3,4,5,6$ atoms with an inter-particle potential which does not present a strong repulsion at short distances.…

A universal mechanism of ultrafast two-electron orbital swap is discovered through two-photon sequential double ionization of Li. After a $1s$ electron in Li is ionized by absorbing an EUV photon, the other two bound electrons located on…

We show that a single photon can ionize the two helium atoms of the helium dimer in a distance up to 10 {\deg}A. The energy sharing among the electrons, the angular distributions of the ions and electrons as well as comparison with electron…

We apply the convergent close-coupling (CCC) formalism to the problem of two-photon double ionization of helium. The electron-photon interaction is treated perturbatively whereas the electron-electron interaction is included in full. The…

Multi-electron dynamics in atoms and molecules very often occur on sub- to few-femtosecond timescales. The available intensities of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond pulses have previously only allowed the time-resolved investigation of…

We investigate the dynamics of interacting electrons confined to two types of quantum dot system, when driven by an external AC field. We first consider a system of two electrons confined to a pair of coupled quantum dots by using an…
