Abstract
We numerically investigate the dynamics and radiation of multiple charged ions in intense laser fields. The large magnetic component of the applied laser intensities in association with high electron velocities close to the ionic core results in an extremely high Lorentz force in the vicinity of the ionic core. As a consequence we observe an essentially vanishing mean expectation value of the electronic wave packet distinctively around the ionic core. At the end of the laser pulse the hollowing-out of the ion is reversed and gives rise to X-ray radiation.
