High-order harmonic generation (HHG) from crystals is emerging as a new ultrashort source of coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light. Doping the crystal structure can offer way to control properties. Here, we present study HHG enhancement in XUV spectral region an ionic crystal, using dopant-induced vacancy defects, driven by laser centered at wavelength 1.55 μm. Our numerical simulations based on solutions semiconductor Bloch equations and density-functional theory are supported our...

It has been found that these cause a significant reduction in intensity |T|2 distribution low-energy ECC cusp, leading considerable distortion facilitates its experimental determination. Furthermore, analysis shows one coincides Thomas angle (a parameter coming from classical...

By means of a systematic theoretical study the transition matrix element T for ionization collisions in collinear geometry, we uncover presence three isolated zeros at intermediate impact energies. We demonstrate that these actually represent vortices generalized velocity field associated to T. One is shown be related deep minimum observed more than two decades ago by Brauner and Briggs 1991 extremely large energies, where corresponding fully differential cross section was too small...
We have measured fully differential cross sections for electron capture in 75 keV $p+{\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ collisions with subsequent dissociation of the intermediate molecular ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}^{+}$ ion by vibrational excitation using different projectile coherence lengths. Data were obtained two orientations as a function scattering angle. Two types interference, single- and two-center identified. The interference structure is phase shifted $\ensuremath{\pi}$ compared to what we expected....
We study the time evolution of an incoherent mixture quantum states and demonstrate, in very simple terms, a mechanical equivalent van Cittert -Zernike theorem, which can be easily explained to Quantum Physics students with basic knowledge density matrix theory.Finally, we exemplify this result by applying it quantitative analysis coherence beam particles atomic collisions.
After being overlooked for decades, the presence of quantum vortices in atomic ionization processes was recently uncovered both theoretically and experimentally. On other hand, electron capture to continuum cusp is one most conspicuous well-studied features multiple differential cross section atoms by impact positively charged projectiles. Here we analyze conditions these two structures approach each configuration space transition matrix element, effects that this encounter might produce.
We uncovered the morphology of quantum vortex structures in positron-atom ionization collisions. By performing an exhaustive calculation position vortices final momentum space problem with only one kinematic restriction, we could elucidate that form a closed structure, which is two possible scenarios for their emergence three dimensions. This first time these are fully calculated positron atom

The fundamental indication of the departure quantum mechanics from classical world is so-called coherence. Typically, we define it as characteristic systems which are in a superposition states yielding interference patterns certain kinds experiments. In addition to its captivating philosophical implications, coherence turned out be valuable tool different areas, ranging information biology, where was used describe several processes. Here, go one step further study how uncertainties mixture...
This article continues and completes a recent one regarding quantum version of van Cittert–Zernike's theorem (Fabre et al 2018 Eur. J. Phys. 39 015401). In that paper, we considered mixture states only differed in their initial positions, but not on momenta. Here, relax this nonphysical assumption analyse how the inclusion both classical uncertainties position momentum of—otherwise identical—free which do interact with an environment, affects its coherence length. We show mathematical...
We study the appearance of quantum vortices in ionization atoms by positron impact. avoid standard restrictions on final-state variables, order to as submanifolds codimension 2 multidimensional space definition T-matrix element. In particular we demonstrate that three isolated previously observed under a collinear geometry, actually correspond two-dimensional cut single vortex line.
Vortices are structures known in our daily lives and observed a wide variety of systems, from cosmic to microscopic scales. Relatively recent studies showed that vortices could also appear simple quantum systems. For instance, they were experimentally theoretically as isolated zeros the differential cross section atomic ionization processes by impact charged particles. In this work, we show appearance these point was not due any intrinsic property them, but use restrictive geometries their...

However, recent experimental results and theoretical analyzes have shown this assumption can not only fail, but possible to manipulate coherence length experimentally go from situation an incoherent one. The most conspicuous studied manifestation such loss disappearance interference effects. present work we show...

Synopsis We numerical and analytically investigate the electron dynamics of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in solids driven by strong mid-infrared few-cycle laser pulses. Our model distinguishes contributions to HH yield from (i) intra- interband transitions (ii) central Γ–point first Brillouin zone (BZ) versus entire BZ initial valence band.
