Heteroatom Position Controls Ultrafast Photodynamics of Oxazole and Isoxazole

Briony Downes-Ward, Paul Javed, Huynh V. S. Lam +27

The ultrafast photochemistry of heterocyclic compounds is central to photobiology and materials chemistry, yet direct experimental observation of their structural dynamics remains…

Rotational coherences in O following strong-field ionization

Huynh Van Sa Lam, Tomthin Nganba Wangjam, Vinod Kumarappan

We investigate the wave packet that remains bound in the ground and excited cationic states of oxygen after strong-field ionization by an intense 800-nm pulse. Much weaker probe pu…

Differentiating Three-Dimensional Molecular Structures using Laser-induced Coulomb Explosion Imaging

Huynh Van Sa Lam, Anbu Selvam Venkatachalam, Surjendu Bhattacharyya +8

Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI) with x-ray free electron lasers has recently been shown to be a powerful method for obtaining detailed structural information of gas-phase planar ri…

Simultaneous imaging of vibrational, rotational, and electronic wave packet dynamics in a triatomic molecule

Huynh Van Sa Lam, Van-Hung Hoang, Anbu Selvam Venkatachalam +9

Light-induced molecular dynamics often involve the excitation of several electronic, vibrational, and rotational states. Since the ensuing electronic and nuclear motion determines…

Orientation Resolution through Rotational Coherence Spectroscopy

Varun Makhija, Xiaoming Ren, Drue Gockel +2

The rich information content of measurements in the molecular frame rather than the laboratory frame has motivated the development of several methods for aligning gas phase molecul…

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…
