Electrons on the run: On chirality, tunneling and light fields PhysRevX
Light-matter interaction based on strong laser fields enables probing the structure and dynamics of atomic and molecular systems with unprecedented resolutions, through high-order harmonic spectroscopy, laser-induced electron diffraction, and holography. All strong-field processes rely on a primary ionization mechanism where electrons tunnel through the target potential barrier lowered by the laser field.
These asymmetric patterns provide a background-free signature of the chiral potential in the ionization process. We first implement the attoclock technique, using bicircular two-color fields. We find that, in the tunnel-ionization process, molecular chirality induces a strong forward-backward asymmetry in the electron yield, while the subsequent scattering of the freed electron onto the chiral potential leads to an asymmetric angular streaking of the electron momentum distribution.
