Probing and controlling electrons and nuclei in matter at the
attosecond timescale became possible with the generation of
attosecond pulses by few-cycle intense lasers, and has
revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure and molecular
processes. This book provides an intuitive approach to this
emerging field, utilizing simplified models to develop a clear
understanding of how matter interacts with attosecond pulses of
light. An introductory chapter outlines the structure of atoms and
molecules and the properties of a focused laser beam. Detailed
discussion of the fundamental theory of attosecond and strong-field
physics follows, including the molecular tunnelling ionization
model (MO-ADK theory), the quantitative rescattering (QRS) model,
and the laser induced electronic diffraction (LIED) theory for
probing the change of atomic configurations in a molecule.
Highlighting the cutting-edge developments in attosecond and strong
field physics, and identifying future opportunities and challenges,
this self-contained text is invaluable for students and researchers
in the field.
