Direct imaging of enantiomer-specific orientation dynamics in unidirectionally rotating chiral molecules
Kenta Mizuse, Ilia Tutunnikov, Long Xu +7
Selectively controlling the dynamics of molecular enantiomers underlies advances across chemistry, biology, and physics, yet direct imaging of enantiomer-specific motion has so far…
Enhanced Persistent Orientation of Asymmetric-Top Molecules Induced by Cross-Polarized Terahertz Pulses
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Yehiam Prior +1
We investigate the persistent orientation of asymmetric-top molecules induced by time-delayed THz pulses that are either collinearly or cross polarized. Our theoretical and numeric…
Ionization-induced Long-lasting Orientation of Symmetric-top Molecules
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Yehiam Prior +1
We theoretically consider the phenomenon of field-free long-lasting orientation of symmetric-top molecules ionized by two-color laser pulses. The anisotropic ionization produces a…
Echo-enhanced molecular orientation at high temperatures
Ilia Tutunnikov, Long Xu, Yehiam Prior +1
Ultrashort laser pulses are widely used for transient field-free molecular orientation -- a phenomenon important in chemical reaction dynamics, ultrafast molecular imaging, high ha…
Long-lasting Molecular Orientation Induced by a Single Terahertz Pulse
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Erez Gershnabel +2
Control of molecular rotations by laser fields is an active area of research focusing on the alignment/orientation of otherwise isotropic molecular samples. Oriented molecules are…
Observation of persistent orientation of chiral molecules by laser field with twisted polarization
Ilia Tutunnikov, Johannes Floß, Erez Gershnabel +4
Molecular chirality is an omnipresent phenomenon of fundamental significance in physics, chemistry and biology. For this reason, search for novel techniques for enantioselective co…
Laser induced persistent orientation of chiral molecules
Ilia Tutunnikov, Johannes Floß, Erez Gershnabel +2
We show, both classically and quantum mechanically, enantioselective orientation of gas phase chiral molecules excited by laser fields with twisted polarization. Counterintuitively…
Controlled enantioselective orientation of chiral molecules with an optical centrifuge
Alexander A. Milner, Jordan A. M. Fordyce, Ian MacPhail-Bartley +4
We report on the first experimental demonstration of enantioselective rotational control of chiral molecules with a laser field. In our experiments, two enantiomers of propylene ox…
Echo in a Single Molecule
Junjie Qiang, Ilia Tutunnikov, Peifen Lu +7
Echo is a ubiquitous phenomenon found in many physical systems, ranging from spins in magnetic fields to particle beams in hadron accelerators. It is typically observed in inhomoge…
Field-free Three-Dimensional Orientation of Asymmetric-Top Molecules
Kang Lin, Ilia Tutunnikov, Junjie Qiang +13
Alignment and orientation of molecules by intense, ultrashort laser fields are crucial for a variety of applications in physics and chemistry. These include control of high harmoni…
Selective Orientation of Chiral Molecules by Laser Fields with Twisted Polarization
I. Tutunnikov, E. Gershnabel, S. Gold +1
We explore a pure optical method for enantioselective orientation of chiral molecules by means of laser fields with twisted polarization. Several field implementations are consider…
