Abstract By numerically solving time-dependent Schrödinger equations, we investigate the generation of electron currents, ultrafast magnetic fields and photoelectron momentum distributions (PMD) when circularly polarized laser pulses interact with a Ne dimer in the charge migration (CM) process. By adjusting the laser wavelength, we consider two cases: (i) coherent resonance excitation ($\lambda=76$ nm) and (ii) direct ionization ($\lambda=38$ nm). The results show that the current and magnetic field generated by the Ne dimer under resonance excitation are stronger than under direct ionization. This phenomenon is due to the quantum interference between the initial state $2p\sigma_{\rm g}$ and the excited state $3s\sigma_{\rm g}$ under resonance excitation, so the CM efficiency of the dimer can be improved and the strength of the PMD under different ionization conditions is opposite to the strength of the electron current and induced magnetic field. In addition, we also find that both $2p\pi_{\rm g}$ and $2p\pi_{\rm u}$ have coherent resonance excitation with $3s\sigma_{\rm g}$ state and generate periodic oscillating currents for the Ne dimer. The study of the dynamics of the Ne dimer under different ionization conditions lays a foundation for research of ultrafast magnetism in complex molecular systems.
