Attosecond Molecular Angular Streaking with All-Ionic Fragments Detection.

Attosecond angular streaking (or "attoclock") is an insightful technique for probing the ultrafast electron dynamics in strong laser fields. Up until recently, this technique relied solely on an accurate measurement of the photoelectron momentum distribution and has remained restricted to atomic targets. Here, we propose a novel attosecond angular streaking scheme applicable to molecules, for which the ionic fragments of dissociative ionization are detected in the polarization plane of a close-to-circular polarized laser light. Our ionic attoclock measurements are consistent with theoretical results from a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and an upper bound of 10 as on the tunneling time from the attoclock readings in the H_{2} molecule has been given, which is significantly smaller than any definitions of tunneling time available in the literatures.

Time delay in XUV/IR photoionization of H2O.

We solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation describing a water molecule driven by a superposition of the extreme ultraviolet and IR pulses typical for a reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions experiment. This solution is obtained by a combination of the time-dependent coordinate scaling and the density functional theory with self-interaction correction. Results of this solution are used to determine the time delay in photoionization of the water and hydrogen molecules.
