We demonstrate that the structure of the outermost orbitals of oxygen and nitrogen can be
observed in the angular distribution of coincident ion pairs generated by the double …

We report experiments on the formation of wave packets consisting of coherently excited
ground electronic state rotational levels of I2, using excitation with an intense nonresonant …

Ab initio calculations employing the configuration interaction method including Davidson's
corrections for quadruple excitations have been carried out to unravel the dissociation …

We theoretically investigated the dynamics of structural deformations of CO2 and its cations
in near-infrared intense laser fields (∼ 1015 W cm-2) by using the time-dependent adiabatic …

Imperfect knowledge of the times at which 'snapshots' of a system are recorded degrades
our ability to recover dynamical information, and can scramble the sequence of events. In X …

We report quantum-mechanical calculations on the formation of aligned rotational wave
packets in the ground state of I 2, following the excitation of a rotationally cold sample of …

The dynamical behaviour of H2+ in near-infrared, intense laser fields (I> 1013 W/cm2 and λ>
700 nm) is examined with accurate evaluation of the electronic and nuclear wave packet by …

Accurate potential-energy curves are used consistently instead of Coulombic curves to
determine the internuclear separation at ionization, R ion, in a strong laser field, for charge …

We present measurements of the laser induced spatial alignment of two diatomic molecules,
iodine (I 2) and bromine (Br 2). Dynamic alignment is inferred from the angular distribution of …

Molecules have long been known to align in moderately intense, far off-resonance laser
fields with a large variety of applications in physics and optics. We illustrate and describe the …
