ANL Research Highlights
During my stay at Argonne , I had the following research highlights:
1) I described theoretically strong-field-ionized xenon atoms probed by XUV light to resolve the distribution of final quantum states: Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 143601 (2007),
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.143601
2) I predicted electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) for x rays: Physical Review Letters 98, 253001 (2007),
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.253001 . See also the media reports: Argonne News Vol. 60, No. 16 (2007),

3) I developed a theory for an x-ray probe of laser-aligned molecules: Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, 094106 (2008),
http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2890846 . See also the media report: Argonne News Release, May 13, 2008,

4) I developed FELLA-- the free electron laser atomic, molecular, and optical physics program package, Versions 1.0.0--1.3.0, soon to be published on the Internet.
5) I made an invention which is presently considered for filing for a patent.
New Endeavors
I continue to pursue my interest in theoretical strong-field atomic, molecular, and optical physics. Especially I am intrigued by high harmonic generation and attoscience. With attosecond light pulses, I am able to explore electronic processes in atoms and molecules in real time. Conversely, attosecond light pulses can control electronic processes on an attosecond time scale.
