Laser light is an invaluable tool for detailed experimental studies of chemical reactions. The ability to prepare reagent molecules in specific quantum states and to resolve the quantum state distribution of reaction products using laser radiation has been ...
Spectra of jet-cooled methanol in the overtone and combination region from 5000 to, 14000 cm(-1) have been obtained by means of infrared laser-assisted photofragment spectroscopy. Many of the observed features are assigned to combination bands of the type ...
The dissociation of methane on a nickel catalyst is a key step in steam reforming of natural gas for hydrogen production. Despite substantial effort in both experiment and theory, there is still no atomic-scale description of this important gas-surface rea ...
We report here a measurement of electric dipole moments in highly vibrationally excited HDO molecules. We use photofragment yield detected quantum beat spectroscopy to determine electric field induced splittings of the J=1 rotational levels of HDO excited ...
We have further developed our recently reported two-laser technique for highly selective molecular isotope separation of carbon-13 [Boyarkin, Kowalczyk, and Rizzo, J. Chem. Phys. 118, 93 (2003)] with the objective of increasing the yield. An essential feat ...
A simplified formulation of the harmonic reaction path Hamiltonian (RPH) approach is used to calculate mode specific tunneling splittings and stereomutation times in (CH3OH)-C-12 and (CH3OH)-C-13. The experimental torsional spectrum is very well reproduced ...
We have studied infrared multiphoton dissociation of CF3H pre-excited to the second C-H stretch overtone under collisional conditions in view of developing a laser isotope separation scheme for carbon-13. This single stage process results in a C2F4 product ...
We describe a new apparatus that combines pulsed laser excitation in a molecular beam with surface-science methods for preparation of clean single-crystal surfaces and detection of adsorbates to enable state-selected studies of gas-surface reaction dynamic ...
We describe a microwave-optical double resonance experiment designed for Stark effect measurements on molecules in excited vibrational energy levels of ground electronic states. This technique, which employs pulsed laser excitation and laser induced fluore ...
