Optical centrifuge as a probe of strong dissipative coupling between a molecular rotor and superfluid helium
Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Sören E. Mahr, Cameron E. Peters +7
A macroscopic manifestation of superfluidity is that objects moving through liquid helium experience negligible friction below the Landau critical velocity. How this frictionless m…
Control of molecular rotation in helium nanodroplets with an optical centrifuge
Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Alexander A. Milner, Frank Stienkemeier +1
We experimentally demonstrate that the rotation of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets can be controlled with an optical centrifuge, allowing for the study of molecular dynam…
Coherent control of molecular rotation in superfluid helium
Alexander A. Milner, Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Katarina Preocanin +3
We experimentally demonstrate control of molecular rotation in bulk superfluid . Metastable helium dimers, , are rotationally excited by a periodic…
