Asymmetric emission of high energy electrons in the two-dimensional hydrodynamic expansion of large xenon clusters irradiated by intense laser fields
V. Kumarappan, M. Krishnamurthy, D. Mathur
Energy spectra and angular distributions have been measured of electrons that are emitted upon disassembly of following irradiation by intense (10 W cm…
Explosions of water clusters in intense laser fields
V. Kumarappan, M. Krishnamurthy, D. Mathur
Energetic, highly-charged oxygen ions, (), are copiously produced upon laser field-induced disassembly of highly-charged water clusters, and …
A combined experimental and theoretical study on realizing and using laser controlled torsion of molecules
C. B. Madsen, L. B. Madsen, S. S. Viftrup +6
It is demonstrated that strong laser pulses can introduce torsional motion in the axially chiral molecule 3,5-diflouro-3',5'-dibromo-biphenyl (DFDBrBPh). A nanosecond laser pulse s…
Anisotropic "charge-flipping" acceleration of highly charged ions from clusters in strong optical fields
M. Krishnamurthy, D. Mathur, V. Kumarappan
The disassembly of molecular clusters (=50-3000) in strong optical fields is investigated using two-dimensional time-of-flight spectrometry. Very highly charged ions a…
Manipulating the torsion of molecules by strong laser pulses
C. B. Madsen, L. B. Madsen, S. S. Viftrup +6
A proof-of-principle experiment is reported, where torsional motion of a molecule, consisting of a pair of phenyl rings, is induced by strong laser pulses. A nanosecond laser pulse…
