Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

Recent experimental developments give more and more access to cluster excitations
beyond the regime of linear response. Most theoretical descriptions of the induced nonlinear …

Intense radiation from lasers has opened up many new areas of research in physics and
chemistry, and has revolutionized optical technology. So far, most work in the field of …

Recent experiments on the interaction of intense, ultrafast laser pulses with large van der
Waals bonded clusters have shown that these clusters can explode with substantial kinetic …

Clusters as mesoscopic particles represent an intermediate state of matter between single
atoms and solid material. The tendency to miniaturise technical objects requires knowledge …

Atomic clusters are aggregates of atoms containing a few to several thousand atoms. Due to
the small size of these pieces of matter, the properties of atomic clusters in general are …

The unique conditions forming atomic and molecular complexes and clusters using
superfluid helium nanodroplets have opened up an innovative route for studying the …

We report the observation and characterization of a new nonresonant strong field ionization
mechanism in polyatomic molecules: Nonadiabatic multi-electron (NME) dynamics. The …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

Experimental measurements of scaling with cluster and laser parameters of the energies of
ions produced in the explosion of atomic clusters have been obtained, with a view to …
