26. The atomic ADK theory has been extended to diatomic molecules; see, for example, X. M. Tong, Z. X. Zhao, and C. D. Lin, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.66.033402 66, 033402 (2002)

28. An explicit analytic expression has also been derived in Ref.. However, we found that the employment of atomic ADK formula instead of the complicated molecular ADK formula does not lead to significant discrepancy in calculating the ratios between double and single ionization. So, for simplicity, we adopt (t0) = 4 (2 Ip1) 2 ε (t0) exp (- 2 (2| Ip1|) 3/2 3ε (t0)) in our calculations.

39. In our model, the molecular potential of N2 is taken as two protons approximately. For double-ionization problems in an intense laser field this approximation is widely adopted because the influence from the inner electrons is less important compared with those effects caused by the outer two correlated electrons.
