研究目的
Theoretically investigate the application of angular streaking with a circularly polarized THz field to study Auger processes in atoms and molecules, focusing on how the streaking pattern depends on the duration of the XUV pulse, Auger decay lifetime, and THz field period, and to discuss the retrieval of Auger decay parameters.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that angular streaking with a THz field can provide temporal information on Auger decay processes, including lifetime and time-dependent decay probability. Different regimes (fast, slow, intermediate decay) yield distinct streaking patterns. The semiclassical approximation effectively describes the process, and Auger parameters can be retrieved from caustic intensity distributions. This method offers a way to study ultrafast electronic processes with potential applications in free-electron laser pulse characterization.
研究不足
The model is based on approximations (SFA and constant matrix elements), which may not capture all quantum effects. It assumes isotropic Auger emission and specific pulse shapes (Gaussian). The analysis is theoretical and may not account for experimental uncertainties like energy and angle resolutions. The method is limited to cases where the Auger lifetime is comparable to or shorter than the THz period.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a theoretical model based on the strong field approximation (SFA) to calculate the angular streaking of Auger electrons. The model involves solving equations derived from time-dependent Schr?dinger equations, with approximations for long femtosecond pulses.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples are theoretical atoms undergoing Auger decay, with parameters such as Auger width (Γ), Auger lifetime (τ_A), XUV pulse duration (τ_XUV), and THz field properties (frequency, strength) varied. No specific experimental data is used; calculations are purely theoretical.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not applicable as the study is theoretical; no physical equipment is mentioned.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The workflow involves setting parameters (e.g., THz frequency at 6 THz, field strength at 150 kV/cm, Auger energy at 100 eV), using Gaussian envelopes for pulses, and computing double differential cross sections (DDCS) for Auger electron emission as functions of energy and angle.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis includes using the stationary phase method to derive isochrones and caustics, scanning DDCS to retrieve intensity distributions, and fitting exponential decays to extract Auger lifetimes.
