Abstract

We propose a mechanism for experimental investigation of relativistic effects in the laser-atom interaction with moderate (nonrelativistic) laser intensities that involves placing the system in a static magnetic field parallel to the laser's magnetic-field component. The resonantly induced relativistic motion of the atomic electron leads to a variety of novel phenomena: a relativistic dephasing leading to a ringlike spatial probability density, a counterintuitive window of relativistically enhanced motion, and a sequence of sawtooth-shaped resonances that may increase the harmonic generation.
