Stereodynamics describes how the vector properties of molecules, such as the directions in
which they move and the axes about which they rotate, affect the probabilities (or cross …

Rotational angular momentum alignment effects in the rotationally inelastic collisions of NO
(X) with Ar have been investigated at a collision energy of 66 meV by means of hexapole …

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 …

Knowledge of rotational energy transfer (RET) involving carbon monoxide (CO) molecules is
crucial for the interpretation of astrophysical data. As of now, our nearly perfect …

A Stark decelerator produces beams of molecules with high quantum state purity, and small
spatial, temporal and velocity spreads. These tamed molecular beams are ideally suited for …

Fully Λ-doublet quantum state-resolved differential cross-sections for collisions of NO (X)
with neon at a collision energy of 540 cm− 1 are presented. Initial state selection of the Ω …

The effect of orientation of the NO (X) bond axis prior to rotationally inelastic collisions with
Ar has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. A modification to conventional …

Rotational angular momentum orientation effects in the rotationally inelastic collisions of NO
(X) with Ar have been investigated both experimentally and theoretically at a collision …

We present a crossed molecular beam scattering study, using velocity-map ion-imaging
detection, of state-to-state rotational energy transfer for NO (A 2 Σ+) in collisions with the …
