We used the world first hard X-ray FEL, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), to investigate the response of molecular systems to the ultraintense, femtosecond X-ray radiation. We report sequential multiphoton ionization, frustrated absorption and double core hole production mechanisms.
We observed intense X-ray induced ionization and dissociation dynamics leading to various charge states up to fully-stripped fragment ions. By measuring partial ion yields from nitrogen molecules as a function of laser pulse duration (∼ 4 fs - 280 fs), a molecular mechanism of frustrated absorption that suppresses the formation of high charge states at short pulse durations is revealed. Our work will also report on multiple X-ray ionization of molecules and the observation of DCH produced via sequential two-photon absorption on diatomic and triatomic molecules. The production and decay of these states was characterized by using photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy.
