摘要：
The Coulomb explosion of H2O in laser pulses of 50 fs and intensity of 3 X 10(16) W/cm(2) has been investigated using an ion momentum-imaging technique to determine the shape of the exploding molecule. The molecule is found to straighten substantially during the ionization process with the bend distribution at a maximum between 130 degrees and 180 degrees. [S1050-2947(99)50904-9].
