Control of electron localization in a molecule using XUV and IR pulses

We demonstrate an experimental control of electron localization in the deuterium molecular ion created and dissociated by the combined action of an attosecond pulse train (APT) and a femtosecond IR laser pulse. A left- right asymmetric ejection of the deuterium ions, characterized by an asymmetry parameter A, exhibits oscillations with a full laser period when the time-delay between the APT and IR pulses is scanned with 300as resolution.We demonstrate an experimental control of electron localization in the deuterium molecular ion created and dissociated by the combined action of an attosecond pulse train (APT) and a femtosecond IR laser pulse.
