Experimental advances with laser intensities above 1 TW/cm 2, with pulse durations
between roughly 50 and 5 fs, have led to the discovery of new atomic effects that include …

An era of exploring the interactions of high-intensity, hard X-rays with matter has begun with
the start-up of a hard-X-ray free-electron laser, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) …

We report the breakdown of the electric dipole approximation in the long-wavelength limit in
strong-field ionization with linearly polarized few-cycle mid-infrared laser pulses at …

Laser acceleration of ions to≳ MeV energies has been achieved on a variety of Petawatt
laser systems, raising the prospect of ion beam applications using compact ultra-intense …

We propose a new approach to excite the isomeric Th 229 nuclear state, which has attracted
much attention recently as a potential “nuclear clock.” Our approach is based on a laser …

Strong-field ionization of atoms by circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses produces a
donut-shaped electron momentum distribution. Within the dipole approximation this …

Previously we proposed a new approach of exciting the Th 229 nucleus using laser-driven
electron recollision [Wang, Zhou, Liu, and Wang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 052501 (2021) …

Electron correlation plays an essential role in a wide range of fundamentally important many-
body phenomena in modern physics and chemistry. An example is the importance of …

We calculate the effect of intense laser fields on nuclear α decay processes, using realistic
and quantitative nuclear potentials. We show that α decay rates can indeed be modified by …

Selected features of nonsequential double ionization have been qualitatively reproduced by
a multitude of different (quantum and classical) approaches. In general, however, the typical …
