• Breakdown of the nonrelativistic approximation in superintense laser-matter interactions 

      Førre, Morten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We study the breakdown of the nonrelativistic approximation in the multiphoton ionization of atomic hydrogen by some intense x-ray laser pulse, in a regime where the dipole approximation is no longer valid. To this end, ...
    • Monolithic atom interferometry 

      Fiedler, Johannes; Lefmann, Kim; von Klitzing, Wolf; Holst, Bodil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Atom and, more recently, molecule interferometers are used in fundamental research and industrial applications. Most atom interferometers rely on gratings made from laser beams, which can provide high precision, but cannot ...
    • Relativistic effects in photoionizing a circular Rydberg state in the optical regime 

      Kjellsson Lindblom, Tor Hugo Iwao; Lindroth, Eva; Førre, Morten; Selstø, Sølve (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We study the photoionization process of a hydrogen atom initially prepared in a circular Rydberg state. The atom is exposed to a two-cycle laser pulse with a central wavelength of 800 nm. Before the atom approaches saturation, ...
    • Schrödinger formulation of the nondipole light-matter interaction consistent with relativity 

      Førre, Morten; Selstø, Sølve (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      An alternative and powerful Schrödinger-like equation for describing beyond dipole laser-matter interactions and leading relativistic corrections is derived. It is shown that this particular formulation is numerically very ...
    • True-to-size surface mapping with neutral helium atoms 

      Lambrick, Sam; Salvador Palau, Adria; Hansen, Poul Erik; Bracco, Gianangelo; Ellis, John; Jardine, Andrew P.; Holst, Bodil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Three-dimensional mapping of microscopic surface structures is important in many applications of technology and research, including areas as diverse as microfluidics, MEMS, and geoscience. However, on the nanoscale, using ...
