Description
Springer Multiphoton Processes in Atoms Second Enlarged and Updated Edition With 122 Figures and 11 Tables by N.B. Delone, V.p. Krainov
This book presents a detailed, modern description of the ionization of atoms by strong laser radiation. The authors present descriptions of processes occurring in atoms under the action of strong electromagnetic radiation, in particular, the shift, broadening, and mixing of atomic states. The topics include tunneling ionization, above-threshold ionization, ionization of multiply charged ions, resonance-enhanced ionization, super-intense radiation fields, and properties of Rydberg states strongly perturbed by laser radiation._x000D_ Table of contents : - _x000D_
