The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

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 …

The combination of ultrafast light sources with detection of molecular-frame photoelectron
angular distributions (MFPADs) is setting new standards for detailed interrogation of …

We report experimental results on x-ray diffraction of quantum-state-selected and strongly
aligned ensembles of the prototypical asymmetric rotor molecule 2, 5-diiodobenzonitrile …

We discuss how Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI), triggered by intense femtosecond laser
pulses and combined with laser-induced alignment and covariance analysis of the angular …

Many molecules exhibit multiple rotational isomers (conformers) that interconvert thermally
and are difficult to isolate. Consequently, a precise characterization of their role in chemical …

The rotation of molecules in the gas phase can be coherently excited by irradiation with
strong nonresonant short laser pulses, interacting with the molecular anisotropic …

The understanding of molecular structure and function is at the very heart of the chemical
and molecular sciences. Experiments that allow for the creation of structurally pure samples …

Spectroscopy aims at extracting information about matter through its interaction with light.
However, when performed on gas and liquid phases as well as solid phases lacking long …

Over the past decade or so, the state-of-the-art in the field of chemical reaction dynamics has
progressed from studies of few-atom systems to wide-ranging investigations into a variety of …
