title: XUV-IR Pump-Probe measurements on Argon, Krypton and Nitrogen creator: Srinivas, Hemkumar subject: ddc-530 subject: 530 Physics description: In this work, the photoionization dynamics of atomic krypton, argon dimers and molecular nitrogen are investigated through a series of experiments with attosec- ond time resolution. The attosecond time resolution is provided by a measure- ment technique that uses a train of extreme-ultraviolet pulses. These experi- ments were performed with a high-repetition rate (50 KHz, 75KHz, 150 KHz) attosecond beamline and a 3-Dimensional Ion/electron momentum imaging de- vice known as a Reaction Microscope (REMI). Using the high-repetition rate laser along with the coincidence detection capabilities of the REMI, several intrigu- ing phenomena associated with atomic and molecular photoionization have been studied. These include the role of spin-orbit interactions in atomic photoioniza- tion, the influence of Van der Waals forces on the photoionization of argon dimers and finally various dissociation processes in molecular nitrogen. date: 2023 type: Dissertation type: info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/33199/1/Hemkumar_Srinivas_Thesis_Final_1.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00033199 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-331997 identifier: Srinivas, Hemkumar (2023) XUV-IR Pump-Probe measurements on Argon, Krypton and Nitrogen.
