Abstract

We extend the semiclassical two-step model [Phys. Rev. A 94, 013415 (2016)2469-992610.1103/PhysRevA.94.013415] to include a multielectron polarization-induced dipole potential. Using this model we investigate the imprints of multielectron effects in the momentum distributions of photoelectrons ionized by a linearly polarized laser pulse. We predict narrowing of the longitudinal momentum distributions due to electron focusing by the induced dipole potential. We show that the polarization of the core also modifies interference structures in the photoelectron momentum distributions. Specifically, the number of fanlike interference structures in the low-energy part of the electron momentum distribution may be altered. We analyze the mechanisms underlying this interference effect. The account of the multielectron dipole potential seems to improve the agreement between theory and experiment.
