Resonances leave prominent signatures in atomic and molecular ionization triggered by the absorption of single or multiple photons. These signatures reveal various aspects of the ionization process, characterizing both the initial and final…
When a single photon traverses a cloud of 2-level atoms, the average time it spends as an atomic excitation -- as measured by weakly probing the atoms -- can be shown to be the spontaneous lifetime of the atoms multiplied by the probability…
Shape resonances in photoionization of atoms and molecules arise from a particular geometry of the ionic potential which traps the receding photoelectron in a quasi-bound state in a particular partial wave. This mechanism allows us to…
Sudden ionisation of a relatively large molecule can initiate a correlation-driven process dubbed charge migration, where the electron density distribution is expected to rapidly change. Capturing this few-femtosecond/attosecond charge…
