The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

The motion of neutral molecules in a beam can be manipulated and controlled with
inhomogeneous electric and magnetic fields. Static fields can be used to deflect or focus …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Intense single-cycle THz pulses resonantly interacting with molecular rotations are shown to
induce field-free orientation and alignment under ambient conditions. We calculate and …

The combination of ultrafast light sources with detection of molecular-frame photoelectron
angular distributions (MFPADs) is setting new standards for detailed interrogation of …

We report experimental results on x-ray diffraction of quantum-state-selected and strongly
aligned ensembles of the prototypical asymmetric rotor molecule 2, 5-diiodobenzonitrile …

We use extensive computer simulation to design (and test) a high pressure, fast acting,
pulsed, valve that can produce short pulses of gas. We use flow simulations from shaped …

We report the first experimental observation of nonadiabatic field-free orientation of a
heteronuclear diatomic molecule (CO) induced by an intense two-color (800 and 400 nm) …

We discuss how Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI), triggered by intense femtosecond laser
pulses and combined with laser-induced alignment and covariance analysis of the angular …

Manipulation of the molecular-axis distribution is an important ingredient in experiments
aimed at understanding and controlling molecular processes,,,,,. Samples of aligned or …
