    NO2molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions for a range of geometries using the R-matrix method
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Brambila, Danilo S.; Harvey, Alex G.; Mašín, Zdeněk; Smirnova, Olga
    We present R-matrix calculations of photoionization from NO2, resolved in energy, angle, and both neutral and ionic state, for a range of molecular geometries, including in the vicinity of the 2A1/2B2 conical intersection.

    Surface acoustic wave modulation of single photon emission from GaN/InGaN nanowire quantum dots
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2018) Lazić, S.; Chernysheva, E.; Hernández-Mínguez, A.; Santos, P.V.; van der Meulen, H.P.
    On-chip quantum information processing requires controllable quantum light sources that can be operated on-demand at high-speeds and with the possibility of in-situ control of the photon emission wavelength and its optical polarization properties. Here, we report on the dynamic control of the optical emission from core-shell GaN/InGaN nanowire (NW) heterostructures using radio frequency surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The SAWs are excited on the surface of a piezoelectric lithium niobate crystal equipped with a SAW delay line onto which the NWs were mechanically transferred. Luminescent quantum dot (QD)-like exciton localization centers induced by compositional fluctuations within the InGaN nanoshell were identified using stroboscopic micro-photoluminescence (micro-PL) spectroscopy. They exhibit narrow and almost fully linearly polarized emission lines in the micro-PL spectra and a pronounced anti-bunching signature of single photon emission in the photon correlation experiments. When the nanowire is perturbed by the propagating SAW, the embedded QD is periodically strained and its excitonic transitions are modulated by the acousto-mechanical coupling, giving rise to a spectral fine-tuning within a ~1.5 meV bandwidth at the acoustic frequency of ~330 MHz. This outcome can be further combined with spectral detection filtering for temporal control of the emitted photons. The effect of the SAW piezoelectric field on the QD charge population and on the optical polarization degree is also observed. The advantage of the acousto-optoelectric over other control schemes is that it allows in-situ manipulation of the optical emission properties over a wide frequency range (up to GHz frequencies).

    Robust transverse structures in rescattered photoelectron wavepackets and their consequences
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Bredtmann, T.; Patchkovskii, S.
    Initial-state symmetry has been under-appreciated in strong-field spectroscopies, where laser fields dominate the dynamics. We demonstrate numerically that the transverse photoelectron phase structure, arising from the initial-state symmetry, is robust in strong-field rescattering, and has pronounced effects on strong-field photoelectron spectra. Interpretation of rescattering experiments need to take these symmetry effects into account. In turn, robust transverse photoelectron phase structures may enable attosecond sub-Ångström super-resolution imaging with structured electron beams.

    Strong field ionization of small hydrocarbon chains with full 3D momentum analysis
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Schulz, Claus Peter; Birkner, Sascha; Furch, Federico J.; Anderson, Alexandria; Mikosch, Jochen; Schell, Felix; Vrakking, Marc J. J.
    Strong field ionization of small hydrocarbon chains is studied in a kinematic complete experiment using a reaction microscope. By coincidence detection of ions and electrons different ionization continua populated during the ionization process are identified. In addition, photoelectron momentum distributions from laser-aligned molecules allow to characterize the electron wavepackets emerging from different Dyson orbitals.

    Mapping the dissociative ionization dynamics of molecular nitrogen with attosecond resolution
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Klinker, M.; Trabattoni, A.; González-Vázquez, J.; Liu, C.; Sansone, G.; Linguerri, R.; Hochlaf, M..; Klei, J.; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Martin, F.; Nisoli, M.; Calegari, F.
    We wish to understand the processes underlying the ionization dynamics of N2 as experimentally induced and studied by recording the kinetic energy release (KER) in a XUV-pump/IR-probe setup. To this end a theoretical model was developed describing the ionization process using Dyson Orbitals and, subsequently, the dissociation process using a large set of diabatic potential energy surfaces (PES) on which to propagate. From said set of PES, a small subset is extracted allowing for the identification of one and two photon processes chiefly responsible for the experimentally observed features.
