• Short-range attractive potential ( ~ 2 eV by a few Å )
• Electron correlation effects – responsible for covalent bonds
• Only one or two stable, bound states of the ion

• X- + photon X + e-
• ½ of electron-atom collision
• minimum photon energy necessary is known as the “electron affinity”
• Why study photodetachment in fields?

Photodetachment with B-Fields
• departing electron executes cyclotron motion in field
• motion in plane perpendicular to B is quantized to cyclotron or Landau levels separated by the cyclotron frequency ω = eB/me
• motion along axis of field is continuous, non-quantized
• for typical B = 1.0 Tesla, ω ≈ 30 GHz, period = 36 ps• quantized Landau levels add structure to detachment cross section

Time-domain spectroscopy
• Short pulse excites multiple cyclotron levels simultaneously.
• Wave packet of cyclotron states orbits atomic core with uniform cyclotron frequency.
• Subsequent short pulse probes the detached portion of the electron wave function
• Alternately: second pulse creates additional wave packet

Ramsey interferometry

• Multiple path interferometry
• Phase information of first pulse is stored in the ions
• Phase information of second pulse is then compared with that of first pulse
• Optical memory!
What about electric fields?
