In recent experiments using the Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage technique, Zhou et
al.(J. Chem. Phys. 2021, 154, 104309; Science 2021, 374, 960–964) measured the …

Resonant scattering of optically state-prepared and aligned molecules in the cold regime
allows the most detailed interrogation and control of bimolecular collisions. This technique …

Energy transfer reactions occur in all areas of chemistry. One fundamental form of this is
demonstrated by reactions in which an electronically excited atom transfers energy to a …

To investigate how molecular orientations affect low energy scattering, we have studied the
rotational relaxation of HD (v= 1, j= 2, m)→(v′= 1, j′= 0) by collision with ground-state He …

The concept of the steric effect in molecular collisions is central to chemistry. In this
Perspective article we review some of the progress made in studying the steric effect in …

Fully quantum state selected and resolved inelastic scattering of NO (X) by krypton has been
investigated. Initial Λ-doublet state selection is achieved using an inhomogeneous hexapole …

A Stark decelerator is used in combination with velocity map imaging to study collisions of
NO radicals with rare gas atoms in a counterpropagating crossed beam geometry. This …

The phenomena of propensity and inverse propensity are explored using time-dependent
mixed quantum classical theory, MQCT, in which the rotational motion of the molecule is …

Energy transfer between atoms and molecules is fundamental to many physical and
chemical processes, and understanding the mechanisms and outcomes of energy transfer is …

A crossed molecular beam, velocity-map ion imaging apparatus has been used to determine
differential cross sections (DCSs) and angle-resolved rotational angular momentum …
