Attosecond real-time observation of electron tunnelling in atoms
Article Abstract:
The real-time observation of the most elementary step in strong-field interactions of light-induced electron tunnelling is reported. The process is found to deplete atomic bound states in sharp steps lasting several hundred attoseconds.
