Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3282–3285 (2000)Relativistic Resonances in Combined Magnetic and Laser FieldsSee Also: Erratum
See accompanying Physics Focus We propose a mechanism for experimental investigation of relativistic effects in the laser-atom interaction with moderate (nonrelativistic) laser intensities that involves placing the system in a static magnetic field parallel to the laser's magnetic-field component. The resonantly induced relativistic motion of the atomic electron leads to a variety of novel phenomena: a relativistic dephasing leading to a ringlike spatial probability density, a counterintuitive window of relativistically enhanced motion, and a sequence of sawtooth-shaped resonances that may increase the harmonic generation. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
