摘要
We have investigated the molecular tunnelling ionization (TI) of four allyl halide molecules (C3H5X; X = F, Cl, Br, I) induced by phase-controlled two-colour laser fields consisting of a fundamental light and a second-harmonic light with a pulse duration of 130 fs and an intensity of 10(12)-10(13) W cm(-2). The geometric structure of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the four allyl halides can be systematically changed by replacing the halogen atom. We observed phase-dependent orientation-selective molecular ionization in the four methyl halide molecules. The mechanism of molecular TI is discussed in connection with the geometric structure of the HOMO.
