摘要
A time-dependent Schrodinger equation is integrated numerically to investigate the dynamics of a model molecular system driven by a high-intensity ultrashort laser pulse. Two-dimensional photoelectron momentum distributions are analyzed. Highly nonmonotonic electron angular distributions are obtained that cannot be explained by diffraction in the double-well potential of a molecular ion. The nonmonotonicity is also demonstrated for atomic ionization and is attributed to the interference that occurs between components of an electron wave packet after its rescattering from the parent ion. An analytical model explaining the observed effects is developed.
