1. Attosecond Optical and Electronic Wave Packets
Sammanfattning : When a low-frequency laser pulse is focused to a high intensity in a gas, the electric field of the laser may become comparable to, or even exceed, the electric field between the electrons and the nucleus in the atom. Under such conditions, through a process known as high-order harmonic generation, bursts of extreme ultraviolet radiation may be emitted, with durations in the attosecond domain (1 as = 10^{-18} s), which is the time-scale of electronic processes.

2. X-ray Spectroscopy of Molecules Driven by Strong IR Fields
Sammanfattning : The current thesis deals with one important branch of the physics of ultrafast processes, namely modeling of femtosecond nuclear dynamics. We suggest a new type of time resolved spectroscopy, the phase sensitive infrared-x-ray pump probe spectroscopy, which combines rich opportunities of IR laser techniques in quantum control of molecular systems with the site selectivity of x-rays.

3. Principles of Infrared - X-ray Pump-probe Spectroscopy
Sammanfattning : The present thesis concerns theoretical studies of molecular interactions investigated by infrared and X-ray spectroscopic techniques, with emphasis on using these two techniques combined in pump-probe experiments. Four main types of studies are addressed: the use of near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectra (NEXAFS) to manifest through-bond and through-space interactions; the role of hydrogen bonding in the formation of X-ray photoelectron spectra as evidenced by simulations of the water dimer; the development of theory, with sample applications, for infrared X-ray pump-probe spectroscopy; and molecular dynamics simulations of light-induced fragmentation of water clusters.
