Phase space manipulation of cold free radical OH molecules.

چکیده
We report bunching, slowing, and acceleration of a supersonically cooled beam of diatomic hydroxyl radicals (OH). In situ observation of laser-induced fluorescence along the beam propagation path allows for detailed characterization of longitudinal phase-space manipulation of OH molecules through the Stark effect by precisely sequenced inhomogeneous electric fields.

Compression, supramolecular organization and free radical polymerization of ethylene gas
At low pressure, ethylene gas consists of single translating and rotating molecules and behaves as an ideal gas. With decrease of free volume by compression, various rotating supramolecular particles are formed, which require less space for the movement: molecular pairs, bimolecules and oligomolecules. The appearance of a new kind of particles is manifested as a phase transition of the second o...
متن کاملCold free-radical molecules in the laboratory frame
A special class of molecules that are important to many subfields in molecular dynamics and chemical physics, namely free-radical molecules, now enjoy a significant degree of center-of-mass motion control in the laboratory frame. The example reported in this paper concerns the hydroxyl radical sOHd, which, after the internal degrees of freedom are cooled in a supersonic expansion, has been bunc...
متن کاملA pulsed, low-temperature beam of supersonically cooled free radical OH molecules
An improved system for creating a pulsed, low-temperature molecular beam of hydroxyl radical (OH) radicals has been developed. We use a pulsed discharge to create OH from H2O seeded in Xe during a supersonic expansion, where the high-voltage pulse duration is significantly shorter than the width of the gas pulse. The pulsed discharge allows for control of the mean speed of the molecular packet ...
متن کاملChemical reactions in protoplanetary accretion disks II. Carbon dust oxidation
This paper considers the gas phase chemistry in a protoplanetary accretion disk, especially the chemistry initiated in the gas phase by destruction of dust close to the central star. Slow radial particle transport moves gas and dust from the cold outer parts of a protoplanetary accretion disk into its warm central part where chemical reactions in the gas phase are activated. At the same time ga...
متن کاملDFT Study of Substituent Effects on Antioxidant Activity of Kaempferol in the Gas Phase
In this work, the study of various substituted Kaempferol derivatives is presented. The bond dissociation energies (BDE) have been calculated using B3LYP level and different basis sets in gas-phase. Calculated results show that the BDE values of substituted Kaempferol range from about 77 to100 kcal/mol, demonstrating that Kaempferol is an effective chain-breaking antioxidant that prevents lipid...
