Probing Dynamics in Polyatomic Molecules Using High Harmonic Generation: the Role of Ionization Continua
| Author | |
| Abstract |
We show that to understand harmonic generation from molecules undergoing a large change in configuration, multiple ionization continua must be considered. After exciting large amplitude vibrations in an N2O4 dimer, bright bursts of harmonics are emitted at the outer turning point of the vibration. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
