In contrast to Ne<sup>+</sup> ions produced by two-photon absorption from isolated Ne atoms, the Ne<sup>+</sup> ion yield from Ne clusters shows a linear dependence on the laser intensity (<em>I</em>). We discuss the ionization mechanisms which give the linear behaviour with respect to <em>I</em> and expected features in the electron emission spectrum.</p> 2013-08-13 00:00:00 cluster Ne atoms 2 2 p 5nl tof uncondensed gas electron emission spectrum electron laser pulses Atomic Physics Molecular Physics
