A mixed quantum-classical approach is introduced which allows the dynamical response of molecules driven far from equilibrium to be modeled. This method is applied to the interaction of molecules with intense, short-duration laser pulses.…
The ultrafast manipulation of magnetic order due to optical excitation is governed by the intricate flow of energy and momentum between the electron, lattice and spin subsystems. While various models are commonly employed to describe these…
We experimentally measure a three-dimensional (3D) granular system's reversibility under cyclic compression. We image the grains using a refractive-index-matched fluid, then analyze the images using the artificial intelligence of…
We computationally demonstrate a new method for coherently controlling the rotation-axis direction in asymmetric top molecules with an optical centrifuge. Appropriately chosen electric-field strengths and the centrifuge's acceleration rate…
We present a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the rotation of the plane of polarization of light traveling through a gas of fast-spinning molecules. This effect is similar to the polarization drag phenomenon predicted by Fermi…
We present a theoretical study of the mixed-field orientation of molecules without rotational symmetry. The time-dependent one-dimensional and three-dimensional orientation of a thermal ensemble of 6-chloropyridazine-3-carbonitrile…
We present a theoretical study of the impact of an electrostatic field combined with non-resonant linearly polarized laser pulses on the rotational dynamics of linear molecules. Within the rigid rotor approximation, we solve the…
The kinetic energy distribution of D$^+$ ions resulting from the interaction of a femtosecond laser pulse with D$_2$ molecules is calculated based on the rescattering model. From analyzing the molecular dynamics, it is shown that the…
The rotational and hyperfine spectrum of the $X^1\Sigma^+ \rightarrow B^3\Pi_1$ transition in TlF molecules was measured using laser-induced fluorescence from both a thermal and a cryogenic molecular beam. Rotational and hyperfine constants…
The ultrafast dynamics of charge carriers in organic donor-acceptor interfaces are of primary importance to understanding the fundamental properties of these systems. In this work, we focus on a charge-transfer complex formed by…
We introduce a new scheme for controlling the sense of molecular rotation. By varying the polarization and the delay between two ultrashort laser pulses, we induce unidirectional molecular rotation, thereby forcing the molecules to rotate…
We demonstrate a novel method to determine the longitudinal phase-space distribution of a cryogenic buffer gas beam of barium-fluoride molecules based on a two-step laser excitation scheme. The spatial resolution is achieved by a…
Based on measurements with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope, a multi-line study of molecular species is presented toward the gravitational lens system PKS1830-211. Obtaining average radial velocities and performing Large Velocity Gradient…
We present a detailed analysis of the molecular kinetics of CHCl$_3$ in a range of temperatures covering the solid and liquid phases. Using nuclear quadrupolar resonance we determine the relaxation times for the molecular rotations in solid…
We investigate spin dynamics in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) multiferroic TbMnO3 using optical- pump, terahertz (THz)-probe spectroscopy. Photoexcitation results in a broadband THz transmission change, with an onset time of 25 ps at 6 K that…
We develop a mathematically simple yet accurate model for the single-pulse non-resonant impulsive alignment of thermal ensembles of linear molecules. We find that our molecular alignment model not only provides a simplification for…
Extremely fast rotating molecules carrying significantly more energy in their rotation than in any other degree of freedom are known as "super rotors". It has been speculated that super rotors may exhibit a number of unique properties.…
We experimentally demonstrate control of molecular rotation in bulk superfluid $^4\mathrm{He}$. Metastable helium dimers, $\mathrm{He}_2^*$, are rotationally excited by a periodic train of linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulses. We…
When circularly polarized light is scattered from a rotating target, a rotational Doppler shift (RDS) emerges from an exchange of angular momentum between the spinning object and the electromagnetic field. Here, we used coherently spinning…
A kinetic model is proposed for rarefied flows of molecular gas with rotational and temperature-dependent vibrational degrees of freedom. The model reduces to the Boltzmann equation for monatomic gas when the energy exchange between the…
