Directional hydrogen migration in acetonitrile dication in asymmetric ultrashort intense laser fields

We investigate intramolecular hydrogen migration in acetonitrile dication in phase-controlled ω-2ω intense laser fields (800 and 400 nm, 3.3 × 1014 W/cm2) using three-dimensional coincidence ion momentum imaging. The two-body Coulomb explosion pathway, CH3CN2+→CH3++CN+, exhibits...
