Adiabatic Field-Free Alignment of Asymmetric Top Molecules with an Optical Centrifuge.
We use an optical centrifuge to align asymmetric top SO_{2} molecules by adiabatically spinning their most polarizable O-O axis. The effective centrifugal potential in the rotating frame confines the sulfur atoms to the plane of the laser-induced rotation, leading to the planar molecular alignment that persists after the molecules are released from the centrifuge. The periodic appearance of the...
متن کاملProbing exoplanet clouds with optical phase curves.
Kepler-7b is to date the only exoplanet for which clouds have been inferred from the optical phase curve--from visible-wavelength whole-disk brightness measurements as a function of orbital phase. Added to this, the fact that the phase curve appears dominated by reflected starlight makes this close-in giant planet a unique study case. Here we investigate the information on coverage and optical ...
متن کاملProbing consciousness with event-related potentials in the vegetative state.
OBJECTIVE Probing consciousness in noncommunicating patients is a major medical and neuroscientific challenge. While standardized and expert behavioral assessment of patients constitutes a mandatory step, this clinical evaluation stage is often difficult and doubtful, and calls for complementary measures which may overcome its inherent limitations. Several functional brain imaging methods are c...
متن کاملProbing electrostatic potentials in solution with carbon nanotube transistors.
We have used single-walled carbon nanotube transistors to measure changes in the chemical potential of a solution due to redox-active transition-metal complexes. The interaction of the molecules with a gold electrolyte-gate wire changes the electrostatic potential sensed by the nanotube, which in turn shifts the gate-voltage dependence of the nanotube conductance. As predicted by the Nernst equ...
متن کاملAn optimized algebraic basis for molecular potentials.
The computation of vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules through the exact diagonalization of algebraically determined matrices based on powers of Morse coordinates is made substantially more efficient by choosing a properly adapted quantum mechanical basis, specifically tuned to the molecular potential. A substantial improvement is achieved while still retaining the full advantage of the s...
