Production, characterization and control of polarization states of molecules (specifically,
alignment and/or orientation) are of importance for investigating in detail the stereodynamics …

As nanophysics constitutes the scientific core of nanotechnology, it has a decisive potential
for advancing clean renewable energy applications. Starting with a brief foray into the …

This book highlights cutting-edge topics in contemporary physics, discussing exciting
advances and new forms of thinking in evolving fields with emphases both on natural …

Beams of sodium atoms with energies of a few eV are crossed with a beam of oriented
CH3NO2 molecules to study the effect of collision energy and orientation on electron …

The method developed and introduced here enables for the first time (to the authors'
knowledge), a quantitative assessment of the interaction of SmI2 with substrates prior to the …

The paradigm that the cleavage of the radical anion of benzyl halides occurs in such a way
that the negative charge ends up on the departing halide leaving behind a benzyl radical is …

Electron transfer from K atoms to oriented CH3CN, CH3NC, and CCl3CN is studied in
crossed beams at energies near the threshold for forming an ion pair. For the methyl …

Recently we experimentally demonstrated how a planar molecule tends to travel as a
“frisbee” when a gaseous mixture with lighter carriers expands into a vacuum, the orientation …

Electron transfer collisions between neutral K atoms and neutral, oriented trifluoroacetic acid
molecules, CF3CO2H, are studied in crossed molecular beams at center of mass energies …

Different alkali metal atoms are observed to donate electrons to CF3Br molecules that are
oriented in space. For collision energies high enough to overcome the Coulomb attraction, a …
