Research Expertise and Accomplishments
Short summary:
· Proposed a new set of quantum numbers for describing the correlation and classification of doubly excited states of atoms that have been adopted in the literature.
· One of the pioneers in using hyperspherical coordinates for studying three-body systems
· Originator of the molecular tunneling ionization theory (MO-ADK) and of the quantitative rescattering (QRS) theory in strong field physics, as well as laser-induced electron diffraction (LIED) for dynamic imaging of molecules.
· Established theories for low-energy and medium-energy ion-atom collisions
One review article has been written for each of these four topics.
Expanded description:
1970-1976
During my PhD training under U. Fano, I investigated many-body effects in atomic photoionization and developed hyperspherical coordinates for studying doubly excited states of helium, following the footstep initiated by J. Macek. As a postdoc, I worked with A. Dalgarno and Walter Johnson on relativistic Random-phase approximation to obtain accurate radiative transition rates and later photoionization cross sections for atoms. Paper A6 of the Important Publications [see below] below from 1979 [cited 155 times] is a representative one.
1976-1986
In 1976 I was hired as a visiting Assistant Professor at Kansas State University. I began to look into charge transfer processes for collisions between energetic ions from accelerators with atoms. Later, multiply charged ions produced from other ion sources (ECR, EBIT) became available, and I was involved in developing the theory for collisions of such ions with atoms and molecules. An example is paper A5 (cited 126 times) . A review paper B3 (cited 295 times) on this topic was published in 1991.
During this time period, I continued to pursue two-electron correlations in doubly excited states. The main point of this problem is that the conventional independent particle model (or Hartree-Fock theory) is unable to classify doubly excited states, thus a new set of quantum numbers are needed. The classification scheme was finally proposed in Paper A4 (cited 266 times) , in 1984. Today this classification scheme is nearly universally used by the atomic physics community. A review on this topic was given in B4 (cited 337 times), published in 1986.
1986-2002
During this period, I was involved in extending the classification schemes to triply excited states. We have succeeded in this effort, but there had been no experimental activities. In the meantime, I was involved in extending the hyperspherical coordinates from two-electron atoms to any three-body systems. This method treats any three-body systems on equal footing. A review of the method was published in Phys. Report in 1995, see B2 (cited 290 times). The hyperspherical method has since been used in many areas, including three-body recombination and Effimov states in cold atoms physics, by Chris Greene, Brett Esry, and others, and by my group in low-energy atomic collisions, and positron-atom collisions.
2002-2013
Since 2002, my research has shifted completely to strong field physics, i.e., the study of atoms and molecules in an intense infrared laser. Kansas State University entered this area in 2001, including all the experimentalists and theorists in the DOE-supported J R Macdonald Laboratory. Since then, my group has made a number of important contributions. The first is the development of the tunneling ionization theory for molecules, called MO-ADK, published in 2002, see A3 (cited 289 times) of IP. This simple theory makes it possible to study strong field ionization of molecules. Our next major contribution is the development of the so-called quantitative rescattering (QRS) theory. The QRS was first reported in 2008, in A2 (124 citations) . It has been extended to study high-order harmonic generation and in high-energy photoelectrons.
A consequence of the QRS is our proposal of using electrons generated from laser for imaging the structure of molecules. This laser-induced electron diffraction (LIED) can achieve sub-Angstrom spatial resolution and few-femtosecond temporal resolution. This was first demonstrated in 2012 in collaboration with Lou DiMauro’s group and the result was reported in Nature, see A1 (cited 15 times so far). An invited review paper on QRS was published in 2010, see B1 (cited 61 times).
