Semiclassical model for laser fragmentation of polyatomic molecules

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

We present a semiclassical model for laser fragmentation of polyatomic molecules in an intense laser field. The model assumes a few active bonds which may break due to the interaction with the field and a quantum heat bath. The quantum heat bath consists of a set of harmonic oscillators (normal modes) coupled together through the Coriolis interaction. The model may also be used to study the dynamics of unimolecular decomposition.
