Quantum control of molecular rotation

CP Koch, M Lemeshko, D Sugny - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 - APS
The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

Control of molecular conformation and crystal packing of biphenyl derivatives

B Landeros‐Rivera, J Hernández‐Trujillo - ChemPlusChem, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
This Review presents a discussion of the conformation of biphenyl derivatives in different
chemical environments. The interplay between aromatic stabilization and steric repulsion …

Laser-induced alignment dynamics of gas phase CS 2 dimers

AS Chatterley, MO Baatrup, CA Schouder… - Physical Chemistry …, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
Rotational dynamics of gas phase carbon disulfide (CS2) dimers were induced by a
moderately intense, circularly polarized alignment laser pulse and measured as a function of …

On the impossibility of localised states for molecular rotors with cyclic potentials

T Grohmann, J Manz - Molecular Physics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
We discover a surprising property of an important class of molecular rotors. These rotors
have one (eg a methyl group) or two (eg the planar boron rotor) moieties that consist of …

Ultrafast collisional dissipation of symmetric-top molecules probed by rotational alignment echoes

J Ma, H Zhang, B Lavorel, F Billard, J Wu, C Boulet… - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the ultrafast collisional dynamics of a
symmetric-top molecule (C 2 H 6) in pure gas and mixtures with He at high density by …

[HTML][HTML] Theory of torsional control for G16-type molecules

T Grohmann, T Seideman, M Leibscher - The Journal of Chemical …, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
We introduce a four-dimensional quantum model for describing the torsional control with
moderately strong, non-resonant laser pulses of G 16-type molecules in the electronic …

Dissociation dynamics of size-selected water dimer

H Bieker - 2020 - ediss.sub.uni-hamburg.de
Water is commonly said to be the matrix of life. It is built from water molecules, which are
connected via hydrogen bonds. These connections have influences on many biomolecular …

[PDF][PDF] A systematic four-dimensional approach to strong field control of molecular torsions

T Grohmann, M Leibscher… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - researchgate.net
We introduce a four-dimensional quantum model for describing the torsional control of G16-
type molecules in the electronic ground state, based on the symmetry-adapted variational …
