Chiral rotational dynamics in the molecular frame: Breaking symmetry with angular momentum
Alexander Blech, Monika Leibscher, Christiane P. Koch
Achiral molecules can be prepared in superposition states that are chiral. Here, we propose angular momentum orientation in the molecular frame to achieve the required symmetry bre…
Interference between multiple photoionization pathways in chiral molecules: Converging continuum results in Gaussian bases
Muhammad Sakhi, Alexander Blech, Corbin Allison +2
An accurate description of photoionization observables is a central challenge for theoretical models of molecular photoionization. Within standard electronic-structure approaches,…
Effects of realistic pulse shapes in two-dimensional spectroscopy
M. Russo, R. Gilliot, A. Blech +12
Two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy is a powerful pump-pump-probe technique for revealing couplings between quantum states and disentangling the different contributions to the optica…
Sympathetic rotational cooling of large trapped molecular ions
Monika Leibscher, Alexander Blech, Christiane P. Koch
We suggest a protocol for the sympathetic cooling of a molecular asymmetric top rotor co-trapped with laser-cooled atomic ions, based on resonant coupling between the molecular ion…
Attosecond Control and Measurement of Chiral Photoionisation Dynamics
Meng Han, Jia-Bao Ji, Alexander Blech +5
Many chirality-sensitive light-matter interactions are governed by chiral electron dynamics. Therefore, the development of advanced technologies harnessing chiral phenomena would c…
