Comment on “Strong-field ionization of laser-irradiated light homonuclear diatomic molecules: A generalized strong-field approximation–combination of atomic orbitals model”
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: V. I. Usachenko and S.-I. Chu [Phys. Rev. A, 71, 063410 (2005)] discuss the molecular strong-field approximation in the velocity gauge formulation and indicate that some of our earlier velocity gauge calculations are inaccurate. Here we comment on the results of Usachenko and Chu. First, we show that the molecular orbitals used by Usachenko and Chu do not have the correct symmetry, and second, that it is an oversimplification to describe the molecular orbitals in terms of just a single linear combination of two atomic orbitals. Finally, some values for the generalized Bessel function are given for comparison.
