Impact of ionic motion on ionization of metal clusters under intense laser pulses
We discuss the impact of ionic motion on ionization of metal clusters subject to intense laser pulses in a microscopic approach. We show that for long enough pulses, ionic expansion can drive the system into resonance with the electronic plasmon resonance, which leads to a strongly enhanced ionization.
