Exit point in the strong field ionization process

Abstract: We analyze the process of strong field ionization using the Bohmian approach. This allows retention of the concept of electron trajectories. We consider the tunnelling regime of ionization. We show that, in this regime, the coordinate distribution for the ionized electron has peaks near the points in space that can be interpreted as exit points. The interval of time during which ionization occurs is marked by a quick broadening of the coordinate distribution. The concept of the exit point in the tunneling regi… Show more

“…Suppose ϕ(x, t) = R(x, t) exp [iS(x, t)],with R and S being real-valued functions, is the solution of the timedependent Schrödinger Equation (TDSE). In Bohmian Mechanics in one dimension, electron trajectories are computed from the following set of equations [11,18]:…”

“…The present study is devoted to a description of tunneling ionization employing Bohmian Mechanics [11][12][13], which has recently attracted much attention [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. It will be shown that computing the streamlines of the wavefunction probability over time provides valuable insights and a natural route to understanding complex ultrafast mechanisms.…”

“…This mechanism is characterized by many advantages, such as the lack of necessity to take into account the free energy carriers or pollutants (with lower ionization energy) during the initiation of the discharge. However, it should be mentioned that this type of ionization dominates in areas with very high electric field strengths, such as in the vicinity of blades or leader's head [16,34]. Because of the lack of theoretical description of this process for liquid environments, utility of the proposed model is significantly limited.…”

“…This interpretation gives a radically different perspective on tunneling through a quantum barrier, offering a transparent solution [82], as the potential barrier is suppressed by an additional`quantum' potential [81]. The solution of the tunneling time problem in this picture (see also Ref.…”
