Strong field experiment scattering

Lastly, we mention one more excitation mechanism that has been observed in molecules. It is well-established that following strong field ionization in atoms and molecules, under certain conditions, the ionized electron can be driven back to the ion core where it can recombine to produce high-harmonic radiation, induce further ionization, or experience inelastic scattering. However, there is also the possibility of collisional excitation. Such excitation was observed in [43] in N2 and O2. In both molecules, one electron is tunnel ionized by the strong laser field. When the electron rescatters with the ion core, it can collisionally ionize and excite the molecular ion, creating either N + or Ol+ in an excited state. When the double ion dissociates, its initial state can... 

The dramatic increase of water density at a charged surface was observed by Toney et al. in their in situ X-ray scattering experiments, which has not yet been confirmed by simulation results.58,70 In another MD simulation work, Kiselev et al. found that selfdiffusion coefficient strongly decreases with increasing electric field.27 However, no difference between the self-diffusion coefficients for motion parallel and perpendicular to the external field was observed.
