  20. Schroedinger equation for the electron Newton equation for the nuclei Hamiltonian electron nuclei interaction nucleus-nucleus interaction ISCHIA 2009

  21. It is evident the presence of regularly spaced sidebands around the odd harmonic peaks The satellite peak spacing is exactly given by the nuclei vibration frequency ISCHIA 2009

  22. 1D model for various molecular isotopes Different molecular isotopes are characterized by different satellite peak spacing Each satellite peak spacing is directly related to the corresponding nuclear vibration frequency ISCHIA 2009

  23. Fixed nuclei: spectrum for M=M0 No side-bands around the odd harmonic lines of HHG are present ISCHIA 2009

  24. Schroedinger equation in 3D The presence of the satellite peaks in the harmonic spectrum does not depend upon the dimensionality of the model. The harmonic lines present side peaks whose separation scales as ISCHIA 2009

  35. 1D full quantum calculations for molecular ions oscillations of the nuclei spread of the nuclear wavefunction ____ M = M0 ____ M = 4 M0 ____ M = 16 M0 ISCHIA 2009

  36. Ionization Signal Nuclear wavefunction spread Isotopiceffect: the intensity of the harmonics decreases by increasing the mass of the nuclei Possible explanation: Nuclear wavefunction for lighter nuclei easily spreads and crosses a region of R with enhanced ionization ISCHIA 2009

  37. ISOTOPIC EFFECT SHORT LASER PULSE: The intensity of harmonics increases by decreasing nuclear mass LONG LASER PULSE: The intensity of harmonics decreases by decreasing nuclear mass The nuclear wavefunction does not reach the critical ionization region The nuclear wavefunction approaches the critical ionization region ISCHIA 2009

  38. CONCLUSIONS • Fullerene should emit harmonics: I hope experiments will • come soon. • The motion of the nuclei introduces in the HHG spectrum • satellite peaks of the odd-harmonics. The presence of the • side-peaks is a direct evidence of the nuclear vibration • motion. • A full quantum model shows an isotopic effect in the • HHG spectra. References: N. L. Wagner, A. Wüest, I.
