Complex pathways influence time delay in ionization of molecules

Caption

Potential landscape of a CF4 molecule, in which a central carbon atom (gray) is surrounded by four fluorine atoms (green) positioned at the vertices of a tetrahedron. The three projections are cuts of the molecular potential, with the blue and red regions indicating points of positive and negative potential energy, respectively.
