Description

We formulate a numerical method for treating the time-dependent scattering of an electron from a potential in the presence of a classical oscillating radiation field. The Schroedinger equation is solved in momentum space, which obviates the need to impose artificial boundaries and facilitates the extraction of the rapidly varying part of the wave function. We present results of a test application to a one-dimensional system with atomic potential β exp(-x/R) exposed to a short pulse
