Stern-Gerlach deflection of cryogenically cold polyatomic molecules in superfluid nanodroplets

Benjamin S. Kamerin, Thomas H. Villers, John W. Niman +3

Beam deflection is capable of providing valuable information about the magnetic moments of molecules and clusters as well as the relaxation dynamics of their spins. However, observ…

Shells in CO Clusters

John W. Niman, Benjamin S. Kamerin, Vitaly V. Kresin +4

Abundance spectra of (CO) clusters (up to 500) acquired under a wide range of adiabatic expansion conditions are analyzed within the evaporative ensemble framew…

Probing the presence and absence of metal-fullerene electron transfer reactions in helium nanodroplets by deflection measurements

John W. Niman, Benjamin S. Kamerin, Thomas H. Villers +3

Metal-fullerene compounds are characterized by significant electron transfer to the fullerene cage, giving rise to an electric dipole moment. We use the method of electrostatic bea…

Electric deflection of imidazole dimers and trimers in helium nanodroplets: Dipole moments, structure, and fragmentation

Benjamin S. Kamerin, John W. Niman, Vitaly V. Kresin

Deuterated imidazole (IM) molecules, dimers and trimers formed in liquid helium nanodroplets are studied by the electrostatic beam deflection method. Monitoring the deflection prof…

Direct detection of polar structure formation in helium nanodroplets by beam deflection measurements

John W. Niman, Benjamin S. Kamerin, Lorenz Kranabetter +4

Long-range intermolecular forces are able to steer polar molecules submerged in superfluid helium nanodroplets into highly polar metastable configurations. We demonstrate that the…

Oriented polar molecules trapped in cold helium nanodroplets: Electrostatic deflection, size separation, and charge migration

John W. Niman, Benjamin S. Kamerin, Daniel J. Merthe +2

Helium nanodroplets doped with polar molecules are studied by electrostatic deflection. This broadly applicable method allows even polyatomic molecules to attain sub-Kelvin tempera…
