The tunnel ionization of atoms, diatomic and triatomic molecules using intense 10.6 mu m radiation
1994
A broad collection of experimental tunnel ionization data obtained using intense 10.6 mu m CO2 laser radiation, is presented. The variety of species studied includes three rare gas atoms (Xe, Kr and Ar), three homonuclear diatomic molecules (H2, O2 and N2), two heteropolar diatomic gases (CO and NO) and one triatomic molecule (CO2). The ionization behaviour going from the neutral particle to its associated singly charged ionic state, for all of the above species, is compared with a quasistatic tunnel ionization model. Good agreement between this theoretical model and the complete range of experimental results is found.
