Many-body effects in molecular photoionization in intense laser fields; time-dependent Hartree-Fock simulations.
The time evolution of the reduced single electron density matrix for eight electrons in a one-dimensional finite box potential driven by an intense laser field is calculated by numerically integrating the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations. We study the effects of the Coulomb interaction, field intensity, and frequency on the time profile of the ionization process. Our computed saturation ionization intensity (Isat) is in good agreement with experimental results for decatetraene [Ivanov et al. J. Chem. Phys. 117, 1575 (2002)].
