Abstract
Recent experimental observations of above-threshold ionization of rare gas atoms and diatomic molecules by midinfrared laser fields [C. I. Blaga et al., Nat. Phys. 5, 335 (2009); W. Quan et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 093001 (2009)] revealed a prominent maximum in the electron energy spectrum very close to the ionization threshold which is not reproduced by widely used Keldysh-Faisal-Reiss theories. We have performed fully ab initio theoretical analysis and precision calculations to explore the quantum origin of the low-energy structure (LES) observed in the experiments. Our study shows that an important role in shaping of LES is played by the effect of Coulomb attraction in the final electron state and the Coulomb threshold effect.
