title: Fe(z+) (z = 1-6) generation from ferrocene.
abstract: Multiply charged iron atoms up to Fe(6+) with few carbon ions were produced from ferrocene under intense femtosecond laser fields. The production of Fe(4+) and Fe(5+) from ferrocene requires much less laser intensity than theoretically expected for iron atoms. The dissociation of ferrocene and the generation mechanism of multiply charged iron atoms are discussed.
