Abstract:
The Coulomb explosion dynamics of H2S, H2S3+-->H+ +S+ + H+, in ultrashort intense laser fields (12 fs, approximately 2 x 10(14) W/cm2) is studied by the coincidence momentum imaging of the three fragment ions. Different electronic and nuclear responses are identified depending on the direction of laser polarization epsilon in the molecular frame. The dependence can be interpreted in terms of the electronic and bonding characters of charge transfer states of H2S coupled to the electronic ground state.
