Attosecond photoionization dynamics with stimulated core-valence transitions

Dahlström, Marcus LU ; You, Jhih-An and Rohringer, Nina (2016) In Physical Review A (Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics) 93(3).
Abstract
We investigate ionization of neon atoms by an isolated attosecond pump pulse in the presence of two coherent
extreme ultraviolet or x-ray probe fields. The probe fields are tuned to a core-valence transition in the residual ion
and induce spectral shearing of the photoelectron distributions. We show that the photoelectron-ion coincidence
signal contains an interference pattern that depends on the temporal structure of the attosecond pump pulse
and the stimulated core-valence transition. Many-body perturbation theory is used to compute “atomic response
times” for the processes and we find strikingly different behavior for stimulation to the outer-core hole (2p ↔ 2s)
and stimulation to the inner-core hole (2p ↔ 1s).... (More)

comparable to that of state-of-the-art laser-based characterization techniques for attosecond pulses. (Less)
