We demonstrate the creation and measurement of shaped multimode vibrational wave packets in CCl 4 for the first time. Impulsive Raman excitation of wave packets
The G36 permutation-inversion group theoretical tunneling-rotational formalism originally developed for the methanol dimer has been modified (for the subgroup
Transitions to overtone 2upsilion} 2 and 2upsilion} 3 and combination upsilion} 2+upsilion} 3 vibrations in jet-cooled H 2D + and D 2H + molecular ions have
This paper concerns itself primarily with three questions: (i) What is the range of commonly used definitions for the internal rotation angle, and how do
We have experimentally investigated a a spin excitation in a quantum degenerate Fermi gas of atomes. In the hydrodynamic regime the damping time of the
We present an ab initio many-body formalism for computing the frequency-dependent second-harmonic polarizability of semiconductor materials that includes both
Two-dimensional alignment of Ge islands is obtained by molecular beam epitaxy of Ge on lithographically patterned Si(001) surfaces composed of periodic arrays
Electron beam Ion Trap (EBIT) devices are reviewed with special attention to applications in highly charged ion plasma research. EBIT properties are presented
Time-dependent and time-independent quantum scattering methods are used to investigate state-to-state inelastic and reactive collision dynamicsfor a three
Using feedback and an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), the weak field pump-probe photoionization single at a single time delay is optimized inLi 2. A single launch
The oxidation of deuterium-, ethylene- and acetylene-terminated Si(100) by gas-phase atomic oxygen is evaluated using Auger electron spectroscopy. The atomic
