Ultrafast Magnetization Induced from Raman-Active Axial Chiral Phonons
Chuankun Huang, Alexander Milner, Jiaming Luo +8
Axial chiral phonons, which carry angular momentum and exhibit unusually large magnetic moments, provide a new degree of freedom for controlling the time-reversal symmetry and magn…
Coherent spectroscopy of collective excitations in superfluid helium far from equilibrium
Gabriel Voith, Alexander A. Milner, Michael J. Desrochers +2
Ultrafast dynamics of collective excitations in superfluids remains largely unexplored beyond the roton region of the Landau excitation spectrum, despite the importance of such dyn…
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…
An optical centrifuge with zero rotational acceleration
K. Wang, A. Hardikar, A. A. Milner +1
An optical centrifuge is a laser pulse which enables controlled rotational excitation of molecules. Centrifuged molecules rotating with well-defined angular frequencies are ideal c…
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…
Probing molecular potentials with an optical centrifuge
A. A. Milner, A. Korobenko, J. W. Hepburn +1
We use an optical centrifuge to excite coherent rotational wave packets in NO, CS and OCS molecules with rotational quantum numbers reaching up to J=465, 690 and 1186, resp…
Ultrafast magnetization of a dense molecular gas with an optical centrifuge
A. A. Milner, A. Korobenko, V. Milner
Strong laser-induced magnetization of oxygen gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure is achieved experimentally on the sub-nanosecond time scale. The method is based on co…
From gyroscopic to thermal motion: a crossover in the dynamics of molecular superrotors
A. A. Milner, A. Korobenko, K. Rezaiezadeh +1
Localized heating of a gas by intense laser pulses leads to interesting acoustic, hydrodynamic and optical effects with numerous applications in science and technology, including c…
Sound emission from the gas of molecular superrotors
A. A. Milner, A. Korobenko, V. Milner
We use an optical centrifuge to deposit a controllable amount of rotational energy into dense molecular ensembles. Subsequent rotation-translation energy transfer, mediated by ther…
Magneto-optical properties of paramagnetic superrotors
A. A. Milner, A. Korobenko, J. Floß +2
We study the dynamics of paramagnetic molecular superrotors in an external magnetic field. Optical centrifuge is used to create dense ensembles of oxygen molecules in ultra-high ro…
Directional spinning of molecules with sequences of femtosecond pulses
C. Bloomquist, S. Zhdanovich, A. A. Milner +1
We present an analysis of two experimental approaches to controlling the directionality of molecular rotation with ultrashort laser pulses. The two methods are based on the molecul…
Control of molecular rotation with a chiral train of ultrashort pulses
S. Zhdanovich, A. A. Milner, C. Bloomquist +4
Trains of ultrashort laser pulses separated by the time of rotational revival (typically, tens of picoseconds) have been exploited for creating ensembles of aligned molecules. In t…
