The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Molecular beam experiments provide fascinating data on how atoms move in the course of
chemical reactions. In order to theoretically reproduce these data at relatively low …

Collisions between cold polar molecules represent a fascinating research frontier but have
proven hard to probe experimentally. We report measurements of inelastic cross sections for …

Understanding quantum interferences is essential to the study of chemical reaction
dynamics. Here, we provide an interesting case of quantum interference between two …

Whereas atom-molecule collisions have been studied with complete quantum-state
resolution, interactions between two state-selected molecules have proven much harder to …

Just as light scattering from an object results in diffraction patterns, the quantum mechanical
nature of molecules can lead to the diffraction of matter waves during molecular collisions …

The effect of electron spin-orbit interactions on chemical reaction dynamics has been a topic
of much research interest. Here we report a combined experimental and theoretical study on …

For molecular collisions, the deflection of a molecule's trajectory provides one of the most
sensitive probes of the interaction potential and there are general rules of thumb that relate …

Molecular collisions are of fundamental importance in understanding intermolecular
interaction and dynamics. Its importance is accentuated in cold and ultra-cold collisions …

The motion of molecules that possess a permanent electric or magnetic dipole moment can
be manipulated using electric or magnetic fields. Various devices have been developed …
