Quantum Scattering of Fullerene 12C60 with Rare Gas Atoms and its selection rules for rotational quenching
Alexander Petrov, Anna Linnik, Jacek Klos +2
The discovery of the C60 fullerene opened new horizons to design carbon nanostructures with targeted electronic structure as well as transport and optical properties. For example,…
Measurements of diffusion coefficients for rubidium--inert gas mixtures using coherent scattering from optically pumped population gratings
Alexander Pouliot, Eduardo Chomen Ramos, Gehrig Carlse +6
We present comprehensive determinations of the diffusion coefficients at C for trace amounts of naturally abundant Rb atoms in inert, naturally abundant He, Ne,…
Unconventional Chemical Bonding of Lanthanide-OH Molecules
Jacek KÅos, Eite Tiesinga, Lan Cheng +1
We present a theoretical study of the low lying adiabatic relativistic electronic states of lanthanide monohydroxide (Ln-OH) molecules near their linear equilibrium geometries. We…
On the effect of "glancing" collisions in the cold atom vacuum standard
Stephen P. Eckel, Daniel S. Barker, James A. Fedchak +3
We theoretically investigate the effect of ``glancing" collisions on the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) pressure readings of the cold atom vacuum standard (CAVS), based on either ultracol…
