Photoionization Dynamics of Free Molecules Observed in the Molecular Frame

Abstract

One can observe photoemission in the molecular frame with the application of angle-resolved photoelectron-fragment-ion coincidence method. This approach has a potential to open the door into the new world of photoionization dynamics research, i.e., to reveal new phenomena which were veiled by the rotation motion of molecules. In this article, we review recent experimental results on photoionizaton dynamics which have been achieved for the first time by observing photoemission in the molecular frame.
