Abstract

Magnetic interaction was included in the simulation of the evolution of the electron wave-packet of the hydrogen molecular ion H2+ in femtosecond intense pulsed laser fields applied along the molecular axis. This evolution was followed by solving 2-D time-dependent Schrodinger equation at some fixed inter-nuclear separations. Magnetic interaction effects at non-relativistic intensities induced a phase shift in the time evolution of the electron wave-packet, and an excess z-component angular momentum as compared with the results obtained in the absence of magnetic interaction. Furthermore, the H2+ electron WP displacement showed a drift and wiggling in the propagation direction which was different from that observed under pure electric field of the laser pulse. The local fluxes at different points of the 2-D space borders and the time-dependent induced angular momentum are calculated and analyzed.
